The Gateways Project 2001:
Archaeological Survey of the Quebec Lower North Shore,
Gulf of St. Lawrence, from Mingan to Blanc Sablon
William W. Fitzhugh
Arctic Studies Center, Smithsonian Institution
In August, 2000 the Smithsonian’s Arctic Studies Center conducted a reconnaissance of a
550 km stretch of the Lower North Shore, known in Quebec as the Basse-Cote-Nord , from
Mingan to Blanc-Sablon in the Strait of Belle Isle. The purpose of the project was to determine
the feasibility of undertaking a study of this region’s cultural heritage, archaeology, and
environmental history, especially of its little-known outer coast regions, to investigate the
problem of the western penetration of Maritime Archaic, Paleoeskimo, and early Inuit cultures
along the Lower North Shore and to associate its culture history more closely with Labrador and
Newfoundland. An additional goal was to explore local interest in the preservation and
inteipretation of cultural lifeways, historic resources, and cultural landscapes as this region
enters a period of rapid social and economic change. At present nearly 300 km of this rugged
coast between Natashquan and Vieux Fort is accessible only by steamer and small aircraft. In
these regions the populace is sustained largely by community service activities, and local
forestry, fishing, and hunting. Villages are small, with populations in the low hundreds, and
people’s lives remain governed largely by traditional ways of living and subsistence activities
that have persisted since settlements became established here in the 17- 18th centuries.
The pace of change, however, is accelerating. Within a few years Highway 138, which
has been advancing into this remote coast from both the east and the west, will enable one to
drive from Quebec across the Lower North Shore / Basse-Cote-Nord to Newfoundland, the
Straits, southern Labrador, and Goose Bay, and to return westward over the Labrador highway to
Labrador City, Wabush, and south to Baie Comeau on the Gulf. Alternatively, after reaching
Blanc-Sablon, one may take the ferry to Newfoundland and travel south to Nova Scotia, New
Brunswick, and Maine. For many tourists, the reverse direction may be even more appealing,
leading New Englanders and southern ‘maritimers’ on a circuit to Newfoundland, Labrador, and
home via Quebec or vice-versa. In addition to benefitting tourists, interconnected circuit routes
will stimulate local and regional business opportunities, reduce the local cost of products, and
bring people into more direct contact with other regions than ever before.
Certainly not all of these changes will be positive. One of the direct consequences will be
an erosion of the most valuable assets that the Lower North Shore possesses - its relative
isolation, its traditional lifestyles, its cultural diversity, and its long-held values about the land
and its resources. Since nothing will stop the road, negative impacts will have to be managed by
taking steps to protect the human and environmental values that give this region its unique
character. One positive step would be an accelerated program of research and documentation to
2
gather and understand the region’s tangible and intangible values coordinated with communities
and government to ensure broad dissemination of results for use in planning museums,
interpretation centers, school curricula, and popular media.
Today, while the Upper North Shore from Charlevoix to Sept Isles is one of the jewels in
the crowns of Quebec and Canada, even Quebecers have little knowledge of the beauty and
heritage of the more distant and inaccessible Basse-Cote-Nord, despite the fact that this region
was the historic ‘gateway’ of European entry into Canada and the North American continent.
Better recognition will only come after its spectacular geography, its dramatic scenery, its
natural habitats, its abundant terrestrial and marine wildlife, its 10,000 years of diverse native
cultures, and its 400 years of European settlement become better known. The archaeological
project reported here was designed to investigate only one of several subjects important for
broader appreciation of the Lower North Shore. As has been demonstrated in Nova Scotia,
Newfoundland, and elsewhere in Quebec, archaeology is especially well-suited to stimulate
regional development by instilling a unique sense of regional cultural and historical identity.
Despite a need for more intensive research, Quebec’s Lower North Shore history,
archaeology, ethnology, and natural history is by no means unknown. Early explorers and Jesuit
priests chronicled its lands and peoples in the 16- 18th centuries (Niellon 1996:155). The early
French natural historian, Henri Puyjalon (1840-1905), who lived in the eastern Mingan Islands
was one of the first scientists to begin systematically documenting its wildlife, botanical, marine
resources, and geology, and the region was one of the early centers of paleontological research in
North America. Recent decades have seen increased interest in geological, geographical,
historical, and ethnographical studies; and archaeological research, in particular, has been
conducted intensively in some areas, especially in Blanc Sablon (Levesque 1962, 1968, 1969a,
1969b, 1971, 1972, 1975, 1976; Martijn 1972, 1974; Pintal 1989, 1994, 1995, 1996, 1998;
Pintal, J.-Y. et D. Groison 1987). Some of this work has not been widely available outside
Quebec because it has been conducted as contract, mitigation, or resource inventory projects and
is not published. However, several monographs have appeared (Levesque 1971, 1976;
Somcynski 1989; Pintal 1998). What is needed most of all today is a stronger research focus,
building upon the extensive data recovered from contract efforts, that can better define
archaeological complexes and integrate them into a broader regional perspective.
Research Goals
The “Gateways Project 2001” had a variety of goals, first among them being to conduct a
preliminary archaeological reconnaissance of this little-known region of the Gulf of St.
Lawrence to determine the nature and extent of archaeological remains present in the region,
particularly in the outer coastal areas. In addition to compiling information on cultural
complexes, sites types, dating, and settlement and subsistence patterns, more specific questions
to be investigated included the extent of western penetration by Maritime Archaic, Inuit, and
Paleoeskimo cultures; the nature of Recent (1500-500 B.P.) and Intermediate (3500-1500 B.P.)
Indian occupations; and the character of the earliest Indian settlements of the Maritime Archaic
and/or Laurentian peoples. Types of sites, preferred settlement locales, dates, and associated
features, and site conservation status was to be recorded, and general information on coastal
uplift, paleoenvironment, local geology, and botany would be gathered. We also planned to
3
make contact with local residents who might be sources of information for oral history and
archaeology.
The following is a preliminary field report covering results of a survey of the Lower
North Shore conducted during a three-week period in August. While the brief survey nature of
the project precludes conclusions to most of the questions raised above, it provides
encouragement that more systematic surveys and excavations could contribute substantially to
the goals expressed above.
Survey Narrative
The survey was conducted during August using the Smithsonian’s research vessel
Pitsiulak, which provides accommodation for 10-12 people and is skippered by Perry Colboume
from Lushes Bight, Notre Dame Bay, in northeastern Newfoundland. In addition to Colbourne,
the project team included students Cristie Boone of the University of Washington in Seattle,
Matthew Gallon, a recent graduate of Bowdoin College, Maine, and Valerie Boudreault, a Laval
University student of Innu heritage. Lynne Fitzhugh, an author and researcher specializing in
Labrador, contributed her knowledge of regional history and archaeological survey talents;
Selma Barkham participated in the early part of the survey and provided expertise on Basque
history and whaling; Rene Levesque spent several days with the project while we were in
Mingan and Natashquan and provided coordination with regional authorities; Steven Young
participated as project botanist and accompanied the project from Harrington to Blanc-Sablon,
together with his wife, Jan, a textile artist; and Will Richard, a photographer from Maine with
experience in ecotourism and heritage programs in Maine, New Brunswick, and Quebec served
as project photographer. Our work would not have been possible without research and
information assembled in advance by Smithsonian intern Saskia Wrausmann, who could not
participate in the fieldwork but collected information on site distributions from the records of the
Ministry of Cultural Affairs in Quebec City, and by Valerie Boudreault, who gathered
information on previous research in the region and provided coordination and data on the project
to LNS Native communities and local organizations.
The Mingan Islands In order to avoid the poorer weather (more wind, rain, and fog) that lasts
longer in the Straits than in the interior of the Gulf, we decided to work from west to east,
beginning from Mingan, which we reached on 5 August. Because the mainland has already been
surveyed extensively by Pablo Somcynski and others, and because our focus was primarily the
islands and outer coast, we concentrated our work on the Mingan Islands rather than on the
mainland shore. We were extremely grateful to Parks Canada’s Mingan and Quebec regional
offices for their consideration given to our request for an archaeological permit for the Mingan
Park and for assistance noted below. One of the islands we surveyed that was not in the park,
Mingan Harbor Island, had previously been studied by Rene Levesque, who located and
excavated the Louis Jolliet post (1971) and reported having found ‘tile’ fragments, possibly
Basque, along its southern shore. With the skilled assistance of Parks Canada Ranger Charles
Kavanaugh, we spent a week surveying the Park’s dramatic limestone archipelago for
archaeological remains. Since our survey had to be rapid, we were only able to sample the
coastal strip at prominent points, harbors, stream mouths, and narrows where evidence of
dwelling structures or other constructions might most likely be found. Our principal goal was to
4
search for Paleoeskimo and Inuit traces on exposed points and headlands, as these locations have
been shown to be primary settlement areas for these cultures. Should these groups have been
present this far west in the gulf in the past, their remains might be visible to the type of cursory
survey we were conducting. Unfortunately, no remains of certain Eskimo affiliation were found,
and most of the rock features and dwelling foundations identified are more likely the remains of
transient camps of relatively recent origin since they were found within a few meters of the
modem shoreline. In the few instances where we were able to survey prominent exposed raised
limestone shingle beaches, no evidence of prehistoric settlements was found, even though such
sites are well represented on the mainland shore, where they are concentrated largely at or near
the mouths of rivers and streams.
Based on previous experience in Labrador and Newfoundland where similar islands are
often found to have abundant Paleoeskimo and Inuit archaeological remains, the absence of early
island maritime sites - even of transitory camps or brief seasonal occupations - among the
Mingan Islands was surprising. This pattern suggested immediately that Paleoeskimo and Inuit
people never reached the Mingan Islands, which seemed possible if Wintemberg’s statement of
having found ‘Dorset’ artifacts at Kegashka (1928) had been correct (an observation that is now
contested, see below). Apparently the use of the Mingan Islands by prehistoric people followed a
similar pattern as that of the historic Innu, who used these islands and the surrounding waters
primarily for waterfowl and seal hunting rather than for settlement. Judging from the many sites
known along the mainland coast and the few sites reported from prior surveys by Somcynski and
others on some of the Mingan islands, the mainland coast has been the primary loci of
prehistoric and historic Indian settlement, with river fishing being the primary economic activity.
The major exception to this pattern is the presence of several important historic
archaeological sites in the Mingan Islands. The most important is a large Basque site located in
the harbor on the western shore of lie Nue (EbDa-6), with intact ovens and work or habitation
areas. This site has been known for several years and represents an important target for
archaeological research; one hopes that excavation will be pursued here in the near future,
especially as one of its oven (?) structures is currently being aggressively undercut by the sea
and important artifacts (which we photographed but did not collect) were found below it on the
beach. A second important site, which we discovered with Ranger Kavanaugh’s assistance after
considerable effort in the thick second-growth spruce forest at the eastern end of Mingan Harbor
Island, was the Jolliet trading post (EbCx-1) previously excavated by R. Levesque (1971; see
Niellon 1996: 145). This island is privately held and is not part of the Mingan Park, and we had
to obtain special permission for our visit from an agent of the owner. The Jolliet site needs new
evaluation, preservation, and research, and could become a major attraction for heritage tourism
if arrangements could be made with the land-owner and with the Mingan Band, which has
special interest in this island immediately adjacent to their community. A third potentially-
important European site is the residence of Count Henri Puyjalon (1840-1905), the pioneering
French naturalist who was the first to study and describe this region of the coast and who had a
seasonal residence on the south side of lie a la Chasse. Although the location of his grave site is
known, his summer residence, presumably located in the vicinity of the grave site, has never
been found. This site would make a significant addition to the archaeological resources of the
region, providing a third major historical component to the early European history of the Mingan
D
5
Islands, one that would resonate with the interpretation of its recent and modern natural history.
Specific discoveries in Mingan Park included the identification of rock structures at ten
locations: a small rock slab structure south of the Basque settlement on the western end of lie
Nue (EbDa-6); two tent rings on the western shore of lie aux Bouleaux (EbDa-52); a large
rectangular structure and possible other rock structures at Cap Seche on the eastern shore of lie a
Niapiskau (EbCw-56); a rock slab pavement at He du Quarry(EbCw-55); a rock structure at
Pointe a l’Enclume on He du Havre; a stone feature at Pointe de Chasse on He du Havre; several
rock structures on the west side of He St. Charles north of Barrachoix Peche inlet; a rock feature
on the shore a few meters north of Henri Puyjalon’s grave site on the south side of He a la
Chasse (EbCs-17); a rock feature on the western gravel beach on Petite He Ste. Genevieve(EbCs-
16); and another rock feature on the slab beach at (Grand) He Ste. Genevieve(EbCs-18). None of
these sites contained any artifacts or cultural remains (other than the structures themselves) that
could be used to identify or date the structures; however, based on their proximity to the current
shore, they probably belong to the past 500 years. The only artifacts we saw in the Mingan
Island survey were a few fragments of Basque tiles and a piece of glazed earthenware which was
eroding from the oven site on He Nue, and several small abraded remnants of brick or Basque
tile noted along the southern shore of Mingan Harbor Island.
We also discovered an interesting location in a clearing at the top of He aux Sauvages. In
a broad pasture-like clearing surrounded by spruce forest we found a moose feeding in a large
open meadow of angelica and raspberries growing in rich black earth. Once again, testing failed
to reveal artifacts, lithic debitage, or charcoal. Nevertheless, this unusual cleared, garden-like
enclave should be investigated further as it seems unlikely to be a natural forest habitat. Perhaps
it is the remains of an historic period garden, and in this case one would expect a European
settlement site to exist somewhere in the vicinity.
Natashquan We were not able to survey the coast between He St. Genevieve and Natashquan.
In the latter location, we spent a few hours ashore and saw a private collection that contained
stemmed bifaces similar to Labrador late Maritime Archaic specimens, made of local quartzite.
We also visited a location several miles north of the village where whale bones were eroding
from a blowout approximately 200 feet above sea level.
Kegashka This English-speaking village has been recognized as an important archaeological
locale ever since Wintemberg’s early survey of the Quebec North Shore. Of particular
importance was his claim of finding Dorset artifacts and Iroquoian ceramics (Wintemberg 1928,
1942; both claims are now discounted: de Laguna 1946, Taylor 1964, and Martijn 1990, cited in
Martijn and Pintal, in press). Recent surveys (Chism 180a, b, 1982; Chapdelaine and Chalifoux
1994) have identified numerous sites around the mouth of the Kegashka River and along the
shore of the modem harbor to the east, and several local residents have private artifact
collections. Our brief land survey was confined to the Kegashka Harbor peninsula, which did not
produce any new sites. Our principal activity was an inspection and photography of the well-
known Stubbert cache (EbCh-1) of Ramah chert bifaces recovered by Hugh Stubbert while
digging near his house “about 30-35 years ago”. This remarkable cache, reported by Chism and
Chapdelaine and Chalifoux above, and by Loring (1992:444-446, and in press), at the time of the
6
our visit contains 26 artifacts, 24 of which are semi-finished biface blanks, and the remainder
include a single-notched Ramah biface and a schist grindstone. None of the implements are in
the form of finished tools, although all had been carefully manufactured and were well-thinned,
ready for fashioning into points, knives, or scrapers. Some specimens have polished arises,
perhaps a result of transport ‘bag wear5. The largest blank is nearly 35cm long, but most
specimens are in the 20 cm range. The majority have squared bases and slightly out-flaring
lateral sides, and several have slightly convex scraper edges prepared at the bases of the blades,
with considerable rounding and use-wear. The low elevation of the site suggests a Middle
Woodland period (Daniel’s Rattle/Point Revenge period in Labrador) date ca. 800-1200 B.P.
However, absence of diagnostic projectile points and radiocarbon dates makes a precise age and
relationship difficult to determine. Mr. Stubbert pointed out that the cache was found in a muddy
peat as a single dense cluster of finds with the blades stacked crib-like in layers, two or three
blades per layer, each layer at right angles to the layer below. Other than the schist grindstone,
the entire cache was composed of Ramah chert. Only a very few of the specimens are broken or
have evidence of damage, despite being many hundreds of miles from the Ramah quarries in
northern Labrador.
While in Kegashka we visited Lesley Foreman’s salmon-fishing camp on the north side
of the mouth of the Kegashka River a few miles west of the town. Several prehistoric sites have
been recorded on his property, which is on a raised bank overlooking one of the best salmon¬
fishing locations on this part of the coast. North and east of the river mouth, a number of small
sites have been recorded by Claude Chapdelaine during a survey along the ‘winter road5 along
the top of the main beach terrace. We did not check these locations, and instead visited a small
island in the river one hundred meters south of where the Hydro-Quebec lines cross the river.
Mr. Foreman had told us a Hudson’s Bay Company post had been located here once, but the site
proved elusive.
La Romaine La Romaine is a large French-speaking village subdivided into European and
Innu quarters. Our visit here was brief, and since the region had been previously surveyed (Pintal
1995, 1996) we did little more than note the presence of 18/ 19th century ceramics along the
southwestern portion of the beach south of the post office. The adjacent shore near the rock
outcrop forming the southwest end of the beach is a likely area for prehistoric and historic sites.
lie du Lac We did not survey locations between Kegashka and La Pvomaine or between the
latter and Cape Whittle. However, a brief reconnaissance of the eastern end of He du Lac
revealed the presence of an old boulder cache pile (EbCa-1) near the passage to the open sea at a
location that would likely have been an excellent seal-hunting spot.
Baie du Nord Surveys around the western and southern shore of Baie du Nord at the west end
of Watagheistic Strait produced no sites, and a similar result was obtained from the point at the
northwest comer of Watagheistic Island.
Pointe Sealnet This harp sealing location south of Watagheistic Island lived up to its place-
name by producing a range of sites, including several European structures with associated
cultural deposits dating to the 19th and 20th centuries(EcBw-l). Among the interesting finds from
7
a small testpit in the heavily grass-covered European deposits west of the cement foundation of
the old seal factory was a whalebone sled-shoe (drilled lashing holes but without counter-sunk
basal lashing grooves, as is customary for most Inuit-made shoes). This piece is probably
evidence of Inuit influence on LNS winter transport systems (Charest 1998) rather than of the
presence of Inuit themselves. However, the find of a single dark chert notched biface knife of
probably Groswater affiliation in a peat exposure (EcBw-2) overlooking the southern cove
represented the first positive sign of this Paleoeskimo culture during our survey and indicated the
likelihood of a Groswater settlement site nearby.
Petite Mecatina The large south-jutting peninsula east of Harrington Harbor known as Petite
Mecatina was the first location we surveyed that produced sites at outer coast locations and in
densities comparable to that known for the Newfoundland and Labrador coast. The largest and
most dramatic find was a huge 19th-20th century fishing enclave at Havre de la Croix, where the
remains of scores of buildings and stages line this nearly land-locked harbor, and artifacts
literally pave its shores and intertidal zone. Now abandoned, this fishing settlement could be
studied historically and archaeologically, and extensive photographic and written documentation
must be available. The site probably represents one of the most intensive expressions of the
historic LNS inshore cod-fishing industry.
On the outer coast east of Havre de la Choix several sets of boulder beaches rise from the
shore to elevations of from 40-80 feet above sea level. At elevations of ca. 40-55 feet on the two
beaches we visited, we found large numbers of boulder structures, many of which appear to be
caches (EdBt-1); however some of these features are large enough or contain structural clues
such as the presence of thin slabs set among otherwise beach-rounded cobbles that suggest they
might be burial mounds. At the crest of one beach at ca. 40-45 feet elevation we found a clearly-
defined outline of a longhouse measuring 5x28 meters in length, containing five room segments,
constructed in the boulder beach (EdBt-2). Caches and other boulder structures were noted at
similar elevations on beaches nearby. The open nature of the boulders, lack of soil matrix, and
approaching dusk made further study impossible, but it seems likely, based on the numbers of
boulder structures and elevations noted, that the southern Petite Mecatina beaches harbor a
number of Maritime Archaic sites that warrant survey, mapping, and excavation.
The importance of this region was attested further by one of the most significant finds of
the summer, a large Basque site that appears to have been a major 16th century whaling station
(EdBt-3). Located on the east coast of Petite Mecatina, this site contains large amounts of tile
spread over hundreds of square meters in a dramatic physical setting surrounded by high hills. In
addition to large amounts of tile, our tests produced an abundance of large nails, some extremely
thin green glass shards, and bone remains. Heavy vegetation cover made it difficult to identify
surface features such as ovens or structures, but the site is clearly of considerable size and
importance. Part of the site is inside the drip-line of a high overhanging cliff, and these locations
may provide for instances of unusual organic preservation. According to Selma Barkham (who
was not with us during this portion of the survey) this site may be one of the few ‘large’ Basque
sites yet to be identified along the Quebec coast.
Baie Mouton As in other areas to the west we had neither the time nor the capability, due to
8
the absence of sufficiently detailed charts, to survey the inner reaches of the LNS bays and river
mouths between Petite Mecatina and Baie Mouton to the east. However, we found the latter to be
rich in archaeological sites and remains and discovered that many inhabitants of this primarily
English-speaking settlement had private collections that they had found while working their
gardens or digging house footings or outhouse holes. A set of finds recovered by the Morencys
at the north end of town about 27 feet above sea level (EeBs-1) included notched bifaces, large
stemmed end scrapers, and a stemmed diagonal knife of Ramah and other types of chert that
suggested a similar age (ca. A.D. 500-1000) as the Stubbert cache in Kegashka. The collection
also contained a stemmed point of quartz that had been found at one of several high terrace sites
from the hills surrounding Mouton Bay marked by the presence of large amounts of quartz
flakes. The point appeared to be an Early Maritime Archaic style, which we later confirmed in
visits to two of these sites (EeBs-2,3), situated at elevations of from 100-170 feet above sea
level. While many of these sites have been damaged by local collecting, some appear intact and
could be excavated. Finds included biface fragments of dark chert, quartz, and quartzite; quartz
wedges and small circular end scrapers, the latter an early Maritime Archaic type. Rather than
showing long linear distributions of flaking debris as found at Late Maritime Archaic sites in the
Straits and Labrador, these sites form discrete clusters that suggest small dispersed dwelling
structures or settlement loci, as found for Labrador Early and Middle Maritime Archaic period
settlements. One of these locations contained a cluster of cobbles that appeared to represent a
hearth (EeBs-3). Judging from the exposed materials, all of these sites have low tool/flake ratios;
however this observation may result from a long history of local collecting.
At Boulet Harbor a short distance east of Baie Mouton we found another Basque site
with large amounts of tile (EeBr-13). This site is much smaller than Petite Mecatina 3 and it has
the disadvantage of having a considerable 19-20th century component. On the other hand, its
fine small beach and multi-component history and its location close to Baie Mouton and La
Tabatiere would facilitate excavation, interpretation, and visitation.
Mistanoque and Checatica Islands These small islands east of Baie de Jacques Cartier
provide harborage and settlement site locations in outer coast settings that facilitate maritime
hunting and fishing activities. Mistanoque has a fine harbor, but is so heavily occupied by
modem camps and middens that we could not test adequately for early sites. Its modem
inhabitants could not be questioned about old sites because they had already departed, the
salmon season having ended some weeks previously. At a cove on the southwestern side of the
island we found several boulder caches, pits, and hunting blinds of unknown origin, and several
probable European graves marked by small stone settings and alignments (EhBn-3). On
Checatica Island several high sod-walled house foundations (EhBn-1) in a cove on the
northeastern end of the island produced early European ceramics in a context that needs to be
investigated further, since the presence of winter sod houses at such an exposed location next to
a seal-hunting “rattle” raises the possibility that these constructions may be of historic period
Inuit origin.
Vieux Fort As we drew nearer to Blanc-Sablon with a few days left in our schedule, it was
possible to investigate a number of localities in the Vieux Fort region. Charles Martijn (1974)
had worked here, and I had visited the area briefly in 1981. At lie Verte we found a number of
9
boulder structures (EiBl-6)at 52-foot elevations on a boulder beach at the north end of the island.
Some of the circular and sub-rectangular boulder pits were large enough to have been used as
dwellings while others appeared to be the remains of open cache pits. No artifacts were noted.
Nearby on lie Bilodeau we found a small site (EhBl-1) containing chert flakes (Ramah, opaque,
and tan) and a single non-diagnostic biface fragment that had a distinct Dorset appearance. On
the nearby mainland, we located a small quartzite flaking concentration below a 19/20th century
house foundation at Net Island Tickle(EiBl-7), about 2-3 meters above sea level. This site is
quite likely late prehistoric Innu and is the only site of this type found during the survey; such
sites seem to be rare in the outer coastal zone of the LNS. At the southeastern end of lie de
Vieux Fort we found large numbers of 19-20th century European sites (EiBk-50), and in
Bussie’s Cove in a large grassy meadow, evidence of sod structures (EiBk-52), a seal factory,
and at a few meters above sea level a barely-perceptible rectangular sod-walled structure
measuring 18x 6m, with suggestions of room dividers (EiBk-51). To the wishful-thinking this
site at first resembled a Viking long-house, but two small test pits produced no identifiable
cultural remains. According to our botanist companion, Steven Young, this location was the first
we had encountered along the outer coast where it would have been possible to graze cattle; and
indeed, local residents spoke of Bussie’s Cove having been used as a pasture years ago. Further
testing is needed here, even though the possibility of a Viking connection has to be exceedingly
remote. Most likely, the long structure is a recent animal shed or bam.
Middle Bay Surveys in the Havre des Belles Amours produced a number of interesting finds,
including a rock feature that contained a piece of buried orange flagging tape. This site is
probably one tagged in the Quebec inventory as EiBi-14 (Groison et al. 1985). Nearby on the
high boulder terraces along the east side of the harbor peninsula we found a series of boulder
depressions (caches?) at 34 and 80 foot elevations, with no clues as to cultural affiliation; but at
an extension of the 34-foot terrace beneath and east of the 80-foot terrace, two clearly-defined
rectangular structures were identified (EiBi-19): a two-roomed dwelling with overall dimensions
of 4x4m adjacent to a single-roomed structure measuring 4x5m. Two small one-ineter wide
cache pits were positioned on opposite sides of the double-roomed structure. In the gathering
dusk, surface inspection of the surrounding cobble beach produced no sign of cultural material,
but the undisturbed nature of the interior floor, with a prepared gravel surface and absence of
large open boulders suggests the possibility of a productive excavation. As suggested for the
Belle Amours Peninsula to the east (see below), it seems likely that this site dates to the
Intermediate Indian period, sometime between 3500-1500 B.P. A fourth site was found at the
entiy to the harbor on Pointe des Belle Amours (EiBi-20). Judging from the graveyard above the
site that contained graves of 1 9th century Buckles, a family that had been prominent in the
Middle Bay region as early as the 18th century, it seems likely that the 19/20th century
foundations located on the terrace below belonged to a local branch of Buckles.
Brador The final region investigated was Brador, where for the past fifty years archaeological
research has been conducted, first by Elmer Harp (1963, 1964) and later principally by Rene
Levesque (1972, 1976) Jean-Yves Pintal (1989, 1994, 1998) and others. Large numbers of sites
are known from this ecologically-rich area, whose complex and extensive series of raised
beaches provide a means for isolating cultural components and dating assemblages. The Blanc
Sablon is without question the richest archaeological region of the entire eastern Gulf,
10
Newfoundland, and Labrador, and in time it will become the cornerstone for the prehistory of
this region, since at one time or another, depending on changes in climate and resources, it has
attracted nearly all of the cultures of this diverse region.
Since this region is already well-known and is currently being investigated actively by
Pintal, our purpose was limited to visiting a few sites that were already known or had been
previously excavated, rather than to conduct new surveys. We were aided by Mr. Clifford Hart, a
local fisherman and historical enthusiast whose interest in archaeology was stimulated by finding
a cache of late Maritime Archaic gouge and celt blanks while he was excavating the basement of
his home in Brador (EiBh-41), The cache was found several feet under the surface on a relatively
low beach a few hundred meters from the current shore. The twelve specimens found were large
green-grey slate blanks, some of which had been prepared as gouges and others a ‘spuds5
(expanded bit axes), while others seem intentioned as adzes. None had been finished beyond the
rough flaking stage, nor showed evidence of grinding. The impression left by the cache was that
this was a trove of commercial products that had been prepared elsewhere (almost certainly in
Newfoundland) and were awaiting transfer or final production. There was no indication (i.e. of
red ocher) that the cache had been buried as part of a mortuary ceremony; but this possibility
probably cannot be ruled out.
During the day we drove along the coast highway back to Belles Amours Peninsula to a
raised boulder beach on the northeast side of the peninsula, several hundred meters south of the
highway. Here we inspected a large site (EiBi-7) containing a complex of cache piles, boulder
pits and boulder-walled houses that had been reported by several archaeologists, including Rene
Levesque (1968, 1969a,b, 1972, 1976), Charles Martijn (1972, 1974), and Rousseau (1982). We
photographed several of these structures on the northernmost section of the exposed cobble
beach (ca. 32 feet a.s.l.) that exists between the shore to the east and a small pond to the west of
the beach crest. As noted at the Havre des Belles Amours sites, a variety of boulder
constructions were present, including obvious cache pits (both opened and intact), and several
styles of rectangular, oval, and rounded structures with single and double-tiered boulder walls
that appeared to be dwellings, some with several internal room partitions, and some with caches
built into the exterior walls. All appeared to date to a single cultural period and to consist of a
small village or a location to which people returned periodically over the years, building new
and slightly different structures over time. Several of the structures showed evidence of
disturbance from haphazard excavations in the form of small burrow-pits into the boulder floors
of the structures, but no systematic excavation appears to have ever been conducted here. None
of the dwelling structures appear to have had internal paving, and no artifacts were observed in
the houses or nearby boulders. However, in the sandy deposits north of the boulders small
quantities of chert and quartz flakes were seen in eroded vehicle tracks and blowouts. This site
would be interesting to investigate thoroughly and would make an interesting location for
reconstruction and interpretation. I would guess that the culture and dating would be the
Intermediate Indian period based on the elevation and lack of any observable Maritime Archaic
or Recent Indian features. If this is correct, this site would represent an important component for
a cultural history presentation as house remains from this period are not known from
Newfoundland or Labrador.
11
The third location visited was a site previously identified (EiBh-47) at the head of Brador
Bay, on the mainland north of He du Parasseux, where Clifford Hart has a small cottage. This
location is in fact a complex of sites that was initially investigated by Rene Levesque (1968),
who made some initial test excavations. Although the location has been visited by others, no
systematic work seems to have been undertaken. South of Hart’s cottage, between it and the
shore, Levesque located what he considered to be a Basque component containing tiles, bricks,
and a whalebone sluiceway or trough. We did not test this area, which today is covered with
vegetation, but we inspected the shore and found no signs of tiles or other early materials.
However, small fragments of red earthenware (tiles? brick?) were noticed around the north side
of the Hart dwelling (elevation ca. 26 feet) in the vicinity of unusual indentations and lumps in
the ground that may represent subsurface features. Fifty meters north of the house in a bull¬
dozed clearing we found traces of Groswater artifacts in a small garden plot (30 feet a.s.L), a
cluster of brown quartzite flakes in the spur road leading to the Hart ‘chalet’, and along the
access road leading west at the base of a rocky hillside, large quantities of flakes of red and
green slate and various types of chert, including Ramah chert. Where the road passes the
southeast comer of a rocky outcrop at the edge of the bull-dozed road, we recovered a small
grindstone fragment at the same location (ca. 42 feet a.s.l.) where Hart had earlier recovered a
cache of weathered slate gouges or celts. A few meters to the west we found a small-size
stemmed point of Ramah and at a slightly lower elevation an end scraper made on a large linear
flake of opaque chert. Thus within this locale of no more than a few hundred square meters we
noted traces of at least five chronologically-discrete components: Basque or later European,
Groswater, Saunders/Intemiediate Indian, Recent Indian, and Late Maritime Archaic sites. It is
not obvious why such a concentration of site components should occur at this location nor how
much of this material still remains in situ and could be excavated.
We also briefly inspected three other locations: the two Early Maritime Archaic burial
mounds(EiBh-59,60) excavated by Levesque (1969b, 1975), located on a high sand and gravel
beach ridge about half a kilometer from Highway 138; the Courtemanche post (EiBh-34;
Levesque 1968) in the middle of Brador just west of the highway; and the Courtemanche ‘cart
track’ (EiBh-126), a roadbed beaten into the ground that can be seen ascending the hillside east
of the highway a few hundred meters south of Brador town. Each of these sites could make
important contributions to a local heritage and tourism program. The mounds, situated in a
dramatic physical setting, need reconstruction and stabilization; the Courtemanche site is of great
historic significance but has never been throughly mapped, excavated, and interpreted; and the
cart road leading from the Courtemanche site northeast toward L’Anse au Clair provides a
tangible human link with this early permanent settlement period, about which so much is known
from the records of Charles Martel de Brouague who succeeded Courtemanche here in 1717.
Summary
Although of only three weeks’ duration, our survey provided an opportunity to sample a
number of localities in the 550 km of coast from the western Mingan Islands to Blanc-Sablon.
This is the first time, at least in recent years, that the entire Lower North Shore has been
inspected for archaeological sites at one time. The perspective taken for this project was from the
outer coast rather than from the bays, river mouths, towns, and raised beaches of the mainland
12
shores which have been surveyed, extensively in some cases, in response to highway and
development projects. Although we were able to visit a few villages, we did not attempt to
survey bay and inshore regions because many of these are extremely complex regions with
myriads of islands and uncharted waters. To work such areas requires investigation by parties
traveling by small boat, and during this brief survey we did not have time for such an intensive
operation. We also had neither funds nor time to engage local guides and inquire in detail with
local residents about sites in or in the vicinity of their village areas.
The field techniques utilized were of a rapid survey nature. We selected target regions in
areas of major island complexes and headlands. Where raised beaches were found in such
locations we inspected them, but we found few such locations in most regions of the outer coast.
Outer coast beaches were usually composed of boulders that lacked sandy deposits. Because of
the cursory nature of the survey we did not conduct excavations and relied on surface indications
such as rock structures, pits, and other visible features to provide indications and attributions of
sites. Where such signs were absent in prospective locations we made shovel tests but rarely
tested locations with units larger than 50x50cm test pits. For this reason we may have failed to
identify sites that were present at some of these study locations. All artifacts, bones, charcoal,
and other cultural materials were collected, and sites were photographed, sketch-mapped, located
by GPS, and measured for elevation above sea level. This survey approach had all the
shortcomings of a project that needed to sample a large, diverse region in a short period of time.
Shore stops were brief, and there rarely was sufficient time to inspect prospective site locations
thoroughly. Further complicating the process was the fact that in this region even outer coast
locations tended to have heavy vegetation cover and few natural exposures.
Despite these difficulties the survey was highly successful. Ten new sites were
discovered in the Mingan National Park territory and three important European sites that had
been previously discovered or investigated were visited, these being the lie Nue Basque site
(EbDa-6), the Louis Jolliet residence (EbCx-1), and the Henri Puyjalon grave. While the newly
recorded sites in this region consisted exclusively of rock structures and tent rings that did not
contain indications of artifacts and cultural deposits and could not be identified as to age or
culture, excavation might prove otherwise, particularly in the case of the structures at Cape
Seche on He Niapiskau (EbCw-56). The relocation of the Jolliet site is important because this
location may have other structures that were not excavated when Levesque conducted his work
years ago, and because this site has the potential for development as a heritage site of special
interest to the public. The He Nue Basque site would also be of major scientific and public
interest and should be excavated and interpreted as soon as possible; and efforts should be made
to find the dwelling of Henri Puyjalon on lie a la Chasse and investigate the lie aux Sauvages
“moose garden”. The newly recorded sites should also be investigated to see if subsurface
remains exist that might clarify their age and identity. Overall, however, the Mingan survey
suggests that these islands were not heavily utilized by native peoples or European settlers
during either prehistoric or historic times. Rather they seem to have been used lightly and
periodically by groups that maintained seasonal or permanent residences on the mainland,
especially near the river-mouths, where previous surveys have identified considerable numbers
of sites.
13
In the region between the Mingan Island and Blanc-Sablon we discovered and
documented 26 sites, including two previously unknown Basque sites, several Maritime Archaic
sites, a Paleoeskimo site (probably Groswater), several post-MA Indian sites, and several
19/20th century European sites. In addition we inspected and documented several private
collections containing prehistoric Indian materials.
One of the goals of the project was to survey for signs of Inuit or Paleoeskimo culture
sites along the Lower North Shore, which has been a matter of much discussion in the literature,
especially for the historic period (Martijn 1980). Much to our surprise we found no evidence of
the characteristic types of Inuit dwellings known from the Labrador coast anywhere in the
survey area. While the large rectangular Cap Seche structure in the Mingans has the form of a
rectangular 17- 18th century Labrador Inuit dwelling, it lacked other diagnostic hearth features
and contained (on the basis of surface inspection) no observable Inuit artifacts; although not
excavated, its seems unlikely to be of Inuit origin since there is no other indication that historic
Inuit ever reached this far west in the Gulf. Although we expected to find increasing sign of Inuit
activity in the areas closer to Blanc-Sablon (e.g. Groison et al. 1985), in fact no certain sign of
Inuit settlements appeared, even in areas like Vieux Fort and Middle Bay where historical
sources and archaeological evidence (Dumais and Poirier 1994) indicate Inuit activity. Records
suggest St. Augustin may have been frequented by Inuit, but we were not able to visit this region
at all. In general our surveys were too cursory to be taken as anything other than general support
for the existing view that Inuit activity in the eastern LNS was quite limited. Of the sites found,
the most interesting prospect for possible Inuit occupation is the house foundations noted (but
not adequately tested) on He Checatica (EhBn-1). These large high-walled sod foundations seem
unlikely to be of European origin primarily because of the site’s exposed location, absence of a
good harbor, and adjacency to a ‘rattle’ that would have been an ideal seal-hunting location.
Although our survey produced little to change the status of current knowledge of Inuit
penetration, settlement, and contacts in the eastern portion of the LNS, the subject still remains
an important one for future archaeological research.
Although archaeological evidence of recent Inuit sites is rare, Paleoeskimo remains do
exist in this region. It seems unlikely that Wintemberg found Dorset or Groswater artifacts at
Kegashka in 1928 (de Laguna 1946; Taylor 1964; Pintal and Martijn, in press). Our survey failed
to locate Dorset sites or artifacts in the regions we surveyed along the entire LNS, other than a
small possible Dorset chipping station on lie Bilodeau (EhBl-1). However, the discovery of what
appears to be a Groswater biface base and flakes of the type of opaque southwestern
Newfoundland chert of the type frequently used by Groswater culture suggests that this
transitional Paleoeskimo culture occupied regions as far west as the St. Mary Islands west of
Harrington. Groswater presence has also been documented in Blanc-Sablon (Pintal 1994).
In contrast to the absence of Inuit archaeology and minor Paleoeskimo traces, signs of
Indian occupations were far more abundant, although by no means prevalent, in the outer coast
region. Most of the prehistoric Indian sites found in previous contract surveys of the LNS have
been from near the mouths of the rivers and streams and especially in the modem villages which
tend to be located in these areas. Quartz sites with small rounded end scrapers dating to the Early
or Middle Maritime Archaic periods seem to be more common in the eastern part of the outer
14
coast in the regions east of Harrington where high land occurs at the coast without an extensive
island barrier. Late Maritime Archaic sites are indicated by small tapered stemmed points
collected at sites at Natashquan, which may be near the western limit of the Maritime Archaic
culture, and Brador Bay. The latter area in particular has huge Maritime Archaic sites of many
different periods, including burial mounds and caches of slate blanks imported from
Newfoundland. The presence of Maritime Archaic long-houses, caches, and possibly burial
mounds on the boulder beaches of southern Petite Mecatina offers a chance to study these
expressions in distinctly outer coast environment and is presently the southern and western limit
known for this settlement type.
Our work confirms previous evidence for Indian occupations of the post-Maritime
Archaic period ca. 3000-3500 B.P. Based on inspection of private collections in Mingan,
Kegashka, Baie Mouton, and Brador, there is a substantial occupation of the LNS by peoples
related to what has been called the Saunders Complex or Intermediate Indian on the central
Labrador coast. Tool forms including round-based side-notched points and large end scrapers are
similar to finds from Labrador dated to this period. While Labrador sites of this period are
characterized by large 2-3 meter diameter cobble hearth floors at sandy sites with no suggestion
of house types, so far there is no evidence for this settlement pattern on the LNS. For this reason
it will be interesting to see if excavations at boulder pit-houses and related structures found in
the vicinity of Havre des Belles Amours at 30-35 feet elevations date to the Intermediate period.
These structures do not confonn to Maritime Archaic types and seem to high to date to the late
prehistoric period. Because structures of this type have not been found in Labrador or
Newfoundland, where Early and Late Prehistoric Indian settlement types are better known, it
makes some sense to consider that they may belong to the Intermediate period, ca. 3500-1500
B.P. For this reason, excavations of these sites might produce important new information if
cultural materials and dating samples can be recovered from these sites.
Finally, with the exception of a small site at Net Island Tickle (EiBl-7) west of Vieux
Fort, our survey revealed little prehistoric material from the Recent Indian or proto-Innu period
ca. 1500-500 B.P. Data from this period seems to be more common at river mouth sites than
from the outer coast, suggesting that outer coast maritime resources were not very important to
these groups. What is unusual about this period is the large amount of Ramah chert noted in
some collections, notably the Stubbert cache (EbCh-1) from Kegashka, if in fact this cache dates
to this period. The large number of large, finely-made Ramah chert blanks in this collection
makes it of special importance and provides evidence of the existence of extensive trade
networks dating to this period. We have been accustomed to Ramah chert raw material and style
tools related to the Daniel’s Rattle and Point Revenge complexes of central Labrador appearing
in Newfoundland, the southern Maritimes, and New England in Late Maritime Archaic and
Middle Woodland contexts, but generally not at sites in the Gulf. The Kegashka cache and finds
of Ramah chert in late prehistoric collections further west suggests more extensive western
movement of Ramah than previously known, and more extensive contacts with Labrador at this
time than in any other period in the region’s prehistory. The presence of similar caches in Brador
and southern Labrador suggests that these movements occurred along the coast rather than
through the interior.
15
Summarizing the results above, the Gateways 2001 project sampled a variety of outer
coastal regions along the LMS from Mingan to Blanc Sablon. The survey supports much of the
evidence obtained during previous research in this region but adds significant knowledge of
certain locations and problems. Evidence of Paleoeskimo and Inuit occupations of the western
LNS appears non-existent, while the eastern areas as far west as Cape Whittle have seen at least
limited settlement by Groswater and Dorset Paleoeskimo culture. Inuit penetration westward
from Blanc Sablon is even more restricted and has left a minimal archaeological signature dating
in the historical period. After peaking in the Maritime Archaic period, middle and late period
prehistoric Indian use of the outer coast seems to have become less maritime-oriented through
time. Of particular note is the scarcity of prehistoric sites in the Mingan Islands and in the outer
island passages between Cape Whittle and Petite Mecatina that would appear to offer excellent
settlement and resource prospects. Similar environments in Labrador were active settlement
areas for both Indian and Eskimo/Inuit groups. Thus, while much of the physical environment
and climate of the Quebec LNS resembles the coast of central and southern Labrador, conditions
here did not provide the economic base to sustain the long-term cultural diversity, especially of
Eskimo/Inuit cultures, that flourished in the more maritime regions to the east. On the other
hand, contacts between the LNS and Labrador Indian groups appear to have been strong
throughout prehistory, particularly during the Maritime Archaic and late prehistoric periods.
Acknowledgments
Our field project benefitted from the assistance of many people and organizations. I
greatly appreciate the encouragement and assistance of the Quebec Ministry staff, including
Gilles Samson and Claudine Giroux. Rene Levesque encouraged me to undertake this project
and assisted in part of the planning and fieldwork. I would like to thank Jean -Yves Pintal and
Pablo Somsynski for research assistance, and interns Saskia Wrausman and Valerie Boudreault
who conducted research that helped familiarize me with the published literature and
archaeological records. Valerie provided an important entree to Innu communities. She, Cristie
Boone, and Matthew Gallon were fine field assistants, and Perry Colboume skippered the
Pitsiulak with his usual skill and humor. We received important assistance from Parks Canada in
Mingan, especially from Stephane Marchand and Roberge Benoit, and from Pierre Drouin in the
Parks Canada Regional Office in Quebec; I want to especially thank Park Warden Charles
Kavanagh, whose intimate knowledge of the Mingan Islands, navigational skill, and expert
boatsmanship greatly aided our work. RCMP officer Robert Veilleux also provided important
assistance on a number of occasions. Selma Barkham accompanied the project from
Newfoundland to Mingan and helped inform us on matters Basque. Other project members
including photographer Will Richard, Steven and Janice Young, and Lynne Fitzhugh, brought
much specialized knowledge and help. Clifford Hart and his wife Florence provided assistance in
Brador, and innumerable others helped us elsewhere along the way by sharing infonnation and
allowing us to see private collections. I want to thank especially those who provided some of the
financial support for the project, including the Arctic Studies Center, the National Museum of
Natural History, and donors General Raymond Mason and Robert Malott. Rene Levesque also
facilitated an important contribution via Patsy Kayes from La Societe d’Aide aux Communitees
de la Basse Cote Nord.

Appendix I
The Smithsonian Lower North Shore Project, Quebec - 2001
During August, 2001, the Smithsonian’s Arctic Studies Center will conduct an archaeological and
environmental survey of the Lower North Shore in Quebec between Blanc-Sablon and Mingan. The
project is being conducted in collaboration with Quebec archaeologists and with the assistance of students
from the United States and Laval University.
The project will make an initial reconnaissance of this little-known region of the Gulf of St. Lawrence to
determine the nature and extent of archaeological remains present in the region. We plan to compile an
inventory of cultural complexes, sites types, settlement and subsistence patterns and will gather
information on modem and past biological and geological features of the region. Among the
archaeological questions to be investigated are the western limit of Inuit and Paleoeskimo sites; the nature
of late Indian prehistory and of Intermediate Period (3500-1500 BP) Indian settlements; and the character
of the earliest Indian settlements of the Maritime Archaic and/or Laurentian peoples. Types of sites,
preferred settlement locales, dates, and associated features will be recorded. Information on
paleoenvironment, local geology, and botany will be gathered. Contacts will be made with local residents,
and information on history, oral history, and archaeology will be gathered.
One of the interesting problems for the LNS is the relationship of this region to the better-known
archaeological regions of Labrador, Newfoundland, and the Upper Gulf and southern Maritimes region. It
is hoped that this survey will lead to further work linking the cultures of the northern Gulf of St. Lawrence
into a broader picture of prehistory and historic settlement. Such a perspective is currently lacking because
of the limited nature of archaeological research in the Lower North Shore region makes it almost
impossible to understand cultural relations throughout the Lower Gulf region. It is also important to
establish the relationship between Native Innu and other Indian groups with the early European settlements
of this region, and the history of contact between Europeans and Native peoples during the past four
hundred years.
The LNS Project will seek to integrate cultural and environmental perspectives into a synthetic view of
cultural history and adaptations over a ten-thousand year period. Toward this end, the project will establish
contacts with other research groups and will develop a plan for future research, publication, workshops,
and collaboration. It is hoped that the information gained this year, and in future years if funds can be
found to continue the project, will prove to be useful for community development, establishment of bio¬
reserves, tourism, and training of local residents in scientific studies. Special concern will be directed at
involving native communities and residents of the LNS region in the research program, and in the future it
may be possible to provide training opportunities for Native students and local LNS residents.

Field Notes
SITE NAME: lie Nue (Barren)
BORDEN#: EbDa-6
HEIGHT A.S.L.:
LAT/LONG: 50° 12.416N 64° 07.876W
MAP REF: 121/1
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Rock slab structure, about 50 meters south of 2 Parks
Canada study plot markers
SITE LOCATION: West side of lie Nue de Mingan on raised limestone gravel beach.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: Circular arrangement of slabs covered partially in the interior
by vegetation. Internal rocks could not be observed because of vegetation. No chert or
old bones were found and there was no special form to the structure which was roughly
circular. No sketch map was made.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 5-6 m diameter
RAW MATERIALS: none
VEGETATION COVER: berry and ground juniper
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: This feature could be excavated but the lack of artifacts so far suggests it
might not be productive.
REMARKS: Perhaps nothing will be found here, but the structure is the most prominent
feature found on the exposed gravel beaches above and east of the harbor area.

SITE NAME: Mingan Harbor Island
BORDEN #: none assigned
HEIGHT A.S.L.: shoreline
LAT/LONG: 50° 1 7. 1 36N 64° 00.890 W
MAP REF: 22 1/8
CULTURE: Basque?
DATING: 1600s
SITE TYPE: Rendering ovens?
LOCATION: Midway along the north side of Mingan Harbor Island, opposite Mingan
Harbor wharf, on the gravel beach
DESCRIPTION: Rene Levesque told us he had, in 1965, found Basque tile fragments and
the remains of a rendering hearth across form the harbor at Mingan. We returned to
check on the location with Selma Barkham. A careful inspection of the shore produced a
few very small fragments of what could either have been brick or Basque tile, and several
fragments of old glass. None of the material could be traced to a site location or structure,
and it was found along a 50-100 meter section of the shore, at the highest tide wash of the
beach. Nothing could be specifically identified as tile. But no bricks were seen anywhere
either, so it is more likely that these are Basque tiles and bricks.
AREAL EXTENT:
RAW MATERIALS: tile/ brick, old glass
VEGETATION COVER: beach deposit. Found in areas of the beach where the low cliffs
rise right behind the shore.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): surface collection of 8-10 fragments
SAMPLES TAKEN: tile/ brick, glass
POTENTIAL: not much hope of finding mode here ~ V
REMARKS: It seems likely that this area might have been used for a Basque whale oil
rendering site, because of its excellent harbor facilities. The water alongside the north
shore of the island is deep, but furnaces would have been east of the rapids/ tide rip area
that begins several hundred meters west of the collection area.
The tile fragments were found between 64° 00.98W and 60° 0089W

SITE NAME: Louis Jolliet Site, Mingan Harbor Island
BORDEN#: EbCx-I
HEIGHT A.S.L.:
LAT/LING: 50° 16.729N 63° 59.440W
MAP REF: 12 L/5
CULTURE: European
DATING: 1680
SITE TYPE: Residence/ house
SITE LOCATION: In center of spruce woods about equidistant from south and north
shore of the island, southwest of small sandy cove at northeast end of Mingan Harbor
Island. The site is recognized as a large pit with square trench walls. We had considerable
trouble locating the site as we had thought it existed just at the shore, rather than inland.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: We visited the site with Rene Levesque in order to locate the
Jolliet house he excavated in 1966, but we had difficulties in finding it until our Parks
Canada colleague Charles Kavanagh found the unfilled excavation pit, which is now in
thick forest. We also located the four still-standing posts and lxl meter hole that marked
the site privy, which R. Levesque and his team had termed “the white house” because it
was made of white canvas. He recalled they had back-filled the site, but must have been
mistaken because it appears as though the excavation had been just completed, with only
a small amount of erosion and slumping in 35 years.
AREAL EXTENT: 1000 square meters
RAW MATERIALS:
VEGETATION COVER: Thick spruce/ fir fo.fest with fo'fs of young growth.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): Nothing was excavated during our visit, but we found
charcoal in a pile of backdirt which we found still mounded up near the site.
SAMPLES TAKEN: None
POTENTIAL: Native American artifacts were found in the lower strata of the site and
presumably extend beyond the Jolliet house. This could be an attractive tourist site if the
excavation was back-filled and the forest was cleared and a reconstruction completed.
REMARKS: Our attempt to relocate the sire was jinxed- first by expecting it to be closer to
the northern cove based on the published photograph in RL’s book, Les Seigneurie des
Mingan , but the failure of my GPS batteries, heavy forest cover, and lack of Polaroid film
made it impossible to make good records of this site.

MAP REF: 22 1/1
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: 2 tent rings with rock hearth features
SITE LOCATION: At north end of shallow cove on west coast of lie aux Bouleaux about
.5 km north of the point at the tip of west peninsula, and west of the first pond.
DESCRIPTION: two tent structures outlined with hold-down rocks and internal hearth
features in a clear area about 25-30 meters form the shore. One site, the northernmost, is
on a rocky ridge and S-2 is in a lower area to the south. Both have quite clear structures.
S-l has a large rock ring hearth.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 20 meters
RAW MATERIALS: NA
SOILS/ VEGETATION COVER: a dense mat of ground juniper and other plants
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): nothing found in 3 test pits, 2 in S-2, 1 in S-l.
SAMPLES TAKEN: NA
POTENTIAL: Limited potential- but someone once lived here!
REMARKS: South Point Tests: Test pits at the southern tip of the peninsula produced
some charcoal, but nothing else. Some features suggested house foundations in this area,
and clearings in the trees seemed to be old cldhrings, bufall TPs had sterile deposits.

SITE NAME: He a Niapiskau- Cape Seche
BORDEN#: EbCw-56
HEIGHT A.S.L: 3 meters above storm beach
LAT/LONG: 50° 13.340N 63° 44.352W
MAP REF: 12 L/4
CULTURE: Amerindian? (historic period)
DATING: 2-300 years old?
SITE TYPE: rectangular tent rings
LOCATION: Right out on gravel/ cobble bar at the tip of Cape Seche on northeast corner
of the lie a Niapiskau. It is an old structure of beach cobbles and blocks with wall rocks
and internal structure.
DESCRIPTION: Large rectangular structure (S-l) with an internal hearth structure and
other features. Exposed beach cobbles, no surface vegetation except for a clump of brush.
Some driftwood logs have washed in. The dimensions of the larger and clearest structure
south of the vegetation dump is more or less 8x4 m. size with (possibly) two side rooms
and a central (east) side entrance. The internal structure is not very clear except for the
circular hearth. Lots of jumbled rocks here. No artifacts at all were noted among the rocks
at the surface.
AREAL EXTENT: 10x5 for structure 1. A second possible structure may exist to north on
the other side of a clump of vegetation. It’s covered with moss and brush.
RAW MATERIALS: NA
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: some barren, some covered.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): nothing found
SAMPLES TAKEN: nothing taken :* ~ $
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: This should be mapped carefully and excavated
since it is one of the clearest of any structures we found during our survey of selected
regions of the Mingan Islands.
REMARKS: We did not notice much ‘contaminated’ modern material. The site is not
recent and cannot be very old because of the low elevation. There is a possible U shaped
hearth and circular pavement hearth base. Some rocks se such a find, em to have been
removed from the west wall; gaps in east wall may be doorways. It most closely resembles
to me the 17th century Init summer house foundations of Labrador. This structure looked
at first like a 17th century Labrador Inuit summer house, but its form was too deranged to
be sure. After we continued our survey and found no other signs of Inuit anywhere along
the LNS west of Vieux Fort it seemed unlikely that this could be

DESCRIPTION: A probable hearth feature surrounded by a partial ring of flat slabs that
had been carried up from the beach. Generally circular in shape. Some of the slabs,
which are 15cm in diam., are covered with vegetation. No cultural material was found on
the surface, but nearby was an accumulation of wood that seemed of recent origin,

MAP REF: 12 L/4
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Rock alignment (possibly house wall)
LOCATION: in base of small cove to the south of the point at the edge of the forest cover
DESCRIPTION: Alignment of rocks with several large (50-100 cm) heavy narrow rocks
making a wall about 8m. long No “side” or front wall seen, and it’s possible this is an ice
or storm surge deposit, but seems unlikely. No cultural materials were noted on the

SITE NAME: lie aux Sauvages (“Moose Farm”)
BORDEN #: none assigned
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 30-40’ (not measured)
LAT/LONG: 50° I2.062N 63° 11.977W
MAP REF: 12 L/3
CULTURE: unknown- it may not be a cultural site
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Is it a site?
SITE LOCATION: Top of the limestone strata on lie aux Sauvages SW end of He a la
Chasse; on the northern peninsula of this island, in a broad clearing in the forest at the
top of the island.
DESCRIPTION: Valerie Boudreault and I followed a game (moose) trail from the west
shore of the peninsula to the top of the island and surprised a moose grazing on the
luxuriant stand of raspberries, cow parsnips, grass and other ‘human’ impact vegetation at
the top of this peninsula. The area of the clearing is about 100x50 meters, surrounded by
forest and sloping slightly down to the south. It’s hard to see how this clearing and
vegetation could occur naturally. The soil in the 5-6 test pits I dug was about 20-30 cm
deep, black earth upon a limestone bedrock and of high garden quality. But it contained
no cultural material that I could find.
AREAL EXTENT: 100x50m.
RAW MATERIALS: nothing
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: garden weeds and rich black soils over a
limestone bedrock. This soil type reminded n;e of the soil at Phillips Garden East at Port
au Choix.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): several test pits excavated
SAMPLES TAKEN: nothing found
POTENTIAL: very curious site. Perhaps it is just a recent garden site. But if so, where is
their dwelling? We did not have time to survey the northern or eastern shores of the
peninsula.
REMARKS: Perhaps there is a dwelling site somewhere on the peninsula- especially on or
near the low beach neck to the north. We did not have a chance to test pit any other
locations, although we walked the region of the low isthmus and parts of the northern
peninsula shore. There is a big resident moose in this area!

SITE TYPE: rock structure of unknown purpose
LOCATION: West side of lie St. Charles about 500m. north of the Barachois Pechu inlet.
Situated on exposed gravel beaches north of the spruce vegetation, and about 20-30
meters from the cliff coast.
DESCRIPTION: Scattered arrangement of non-limestone) rocks - (hard granites etc.)
partly buried in the limestone gravel amidst patches of mosses and berries. No other
‘hard’ stones were found elsewhere on this exposed limestone bench.
AREAL EXTENT: 30x40 meters with a single cluster shown here
RAW MATERIALS:
NATURE OF SOILS / VEGETATION COVER: barren limestone gravel with patches of
vegetation.

POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: This site could be excavated. Some of the
structure rocks are buried deeply. There may be artifacts also buried, although none were
found on the surface. * ~ **
REMARKS: This site is not obvious in terms of structures or function. Presumably there
are some dwellings involved, but there are no other material remains, at least on the
surface. Something happened here- but what?

SITE NAME: He a la Chasse, Baie de Puyjalon
BORDEN#: EbCs-17
HEIGHT A.S.L.: at shore
LAT/LONG: 50° 12.460N 63° 08.438W
MAP REF: 12 L/3
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: cobble rock feature- possible tent/ hearth site
LOCATION: 10 meters from corner of tidal pond and about 50 m. north of Henri
Puyjalon’s grave.
DESCRIPTION: 3-4 meter diameter ring of granite and other hard rock cobbles visible at
edge of forest vegetation. Test pits were excavated in the “center” of the feature but no
charcoal or cultural material was found. We could only spend 30 minutes at this area and
had little time to check within the forested areas, but I did look a bit around the point to
the west of the inlet, opposite the P. grave, and in the forest there, hoping to see some sign
of Puyjalon’s house. No luck.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: a few meters
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: berries/ moss/ shrubs
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): shovel test did not show any cultural signs.
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL; not much likely potential
REMARKS: According to Charles Kavanagh, Puyjalon lived here but his home site has not
been located. As the first scientist after Captain Cook (?), who explored at least some of
these shores, it would be important to locate |nd excavate Puyjalon’s house and interpret
his accomplishments - this could be a key objective of future work aimed at new studies of
this region.

HEIGHT A.S.L.: 8 feet
LAT/LONG: 50° I4.960N 63° 05.345W
MAP REF: 12 L/6
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Partly excavated beach shingle with slab pavement
LOCATION: west end of the cobble/slab beach at south west side of Petite lie Ste.
Genevieve (former lie Ancre).
DESCRIPTION: The inner (uphill) side of the upper storm beach had been dug out by
the builders and some small slabs were placed on the inside of the excavated area, and
others on the shore side of the feature. Possibly this is a duck blind, but it is not in a good
place for shooting. Lichen covering indicates a fair antiquity- at least its not a modern
feature. No cultural material was found on the surface.
AREAL EXTENT: a few meters
RAW MATERIALS: NA
VEGETATION COVER: Barren beach
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S) : none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: not much!
REMARKS: Given the excellent deep water approach it is strange this beach area and that
across the straight on He Sainte-Genevieve (grande) did not have more archaeological
material. We found two small post foundations and a slatb rock hearth base near the
beach point but no other disturbances on the beach and brief checks in the level areas in
the forested regions nearby did not show cultural evidence. There are some suggestions
that Basques may have been here - rumors of tiles found here or on the mainland shore
opposite, but we saw no such sign on the beach areas of the Ste. Gen. Strait, which look
like they would be ideal Basque site areas- islands with both protection and deep water.
On the other hand, there is no good boat harbor here and the strait is exposed to the
south/SW.

MAP REF: 12L/6
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: slab rock feature
SITE LOCATION: upper exposed beach terrace at NE end of the lie Ste. Gen. strait.
Located in an area of beach gravel about 200 meters SW of the NE end of beach.
DESCRIPTION: About 8-10 slab rocks arranged in a duster with no comparable natural
occurrence elsewhere on the beach, thus there must be culture placement. But whether
this represents a tent site, a hearth or some other feature is not dear. No cultural material
associated. There are supposed to be tiles somewhere on Ste. Gen. Is. according to a
report of someone to Roger Barrieult of Havre St. Pierre, but we found no trace on either
of the islands.
AREAL EXTENT: 5 meters diam.
RAW MATERIALS: slab rocks
NATURE OF SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: barren gravel beach
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: probably not
REMARKS: See remarks for Petite He Ste. Genevieve surtey. We walked along he entire
beach for the NE point to just north of where Pablo Somcynski found EbCs-1 1 and saw
no rock features of any significance. Seems strange since this is a very approachable
location. There is fairly good exposure on the beach gravels.

MAP REF: 12 K/5
CULTURE: geological
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Beached (or sunken?) whale
LOCATION: The sandy blowout where these bones have been found is about 6.5 miles
north of Natashquan town, to the east of gravel road. A car track runs east from the
native camp used for Innu Passion festival campsite, east along the moraine spur. The
blowout is just south of the sand ridge from where the highest terraced end of the
moraine spur ends and dips.
DESCRIPTION: I was taken to site by Jean-Claude Landry, a local fisherman who lives
here in summer and in Sept. Isles in the winter. He had some bone chunks (gave me one
to date) and took Rene Levesque and I to see the site. In the bottom of the blowout we
found more bone remains buried in the sand, but I left them in situ. No large bones
showing on surface, just small white chips, but larger chunks were just below the surfaces,
around a small spruce seedling.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 10 ft. diam.
RAW MATERIALS:
VEGETATION COVER: sand, moss
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S):
SAMPLES TAKEN: one fist-sized chunk of bone
POTENTIAL: more bones could be found h^ere ~ ^
REMARKS: Elevation is not certain because my GPS did not seem reliable here. It read
225’ a.s.l., but on returning to sea level it read 63 ft. However, the plotted location puts
the site at about the 200-220 foot contour, between the high moraine and the lakes south
of the site. This site should assist in developing an uplift curve for this locality.

SITE NAME: Stubbert Cache
BORDEN #: EbCh-1
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 8 ft ?
LAT/LONG: 50° 10.54N 61° 15.55W
MAP REF: 12 k/3
CULTURE: Intermediate Indian
DATING: 3000-3500 B.P. (?)
SITE TYPE: cache
LOCATION: South of the main road leading out of the Kegashka wharf, behind the house
of Hughie Stubbert.
DESCRIPTION: This is a well-known cache of Ramah chert bifaces that was recovered by
Hughie Stubbert while digging near his house “about 30-35 years ago.” This remarkable
cache contains 26 artifacts, 25 of which are semi-finished Ramah bifaces, and a single
schist grindstone. None of the implements is in the form of a completed tool, and only
one had any hafting modification (a unilateral broad corner notch), although all had been
carefully manufactured and were well-thinned, ready for fashioning into points or knives
or scrapers. Some specimens had highly polished arises. The largest blank is nearly 35 cm
long, and a large number of specimens are in the 20 cm long range. Most have flat bases
with slightly out-flaring edges, and several have rounded scraper edges prepared at the
bases of these blades, with considerable rounding use-wear evident. At first impression
the form of the blades and presence of large scraper edges suggested to me that the cache
should date to the period ca. 3000-3500 B.P, but the low elevation and the similarity of
this cache to bifaces found in the northern straits region of southern Labrador suggests a
Late Indian period. Mr. Stubbert pointed out that the cache occurred as a single dense
cluster with blades stacked crib-like in layers, .two or thrjee blades per layer, with each layer
at right angles to the layer below. Other than the schist grindstone, the entire cache was
composed of Ramah chert, and all specimens were completely free of damage or breakage.
SITE EXTENT: A spot find
RAW MATERIALS: Ramah chert, schist
VEGETATION: grass, scrub, peat
PROCEDURE(S): I photographed the collection and video-taped Hughie Stubbert
SAMPLES: none taken
POTENTIAL: some testing should be done in the vicinity of the find
REMARKS: Mr. Stubbert appreciates the value of this collection and is keeping it
carefully. It’s well-known around town. I urged him to think of donating it to the Quebec
Gov’t at some time in the future, to preserve it for the future. He was quite specific about
how the materials were found, a meter or so deep, stacked up like a log crib.

HEIGHT A.S.L.:
LAT/LONG: 10.85N 61°22.2W
MAP REF.: L2 K/3
CULTURE: Euro-American
DATING:
SITE TYPE: Trading post
SITE LOCATION: This HBC site is said by Lester Foreman to have been on the island
below the First rapids/ falls on the Kegashka River, the island with a stand of spruce trees.
DESCRIPTION: We visited the island with the assistance of Lester’s grandson-in-law who
had never been there before. Lester seemed sure the post was on the island, but recalls
seeing it grown over. He is 86 years old today. We hunted all over and could not find a
trace of the post. There is an old telegraph wire across the island that might date to the
post, but it could be before or later. Numerous small 50cm test pits were dug in the more
or less flat area in the middle of the trees at the center of the island, but no sign was
detected.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: the forested part of the island is about 100 meters across.
RAW MATERIALS:
VEGETATION COVER: The southern part of the island is marsh, the rest is thickly
covered with spruce.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: Some^historicaTcIocumentation would help a
future search.
REMARKS: It’s hard to see how there could be so little evidence of a post if this is the
correct location. There is not even any sign of tie-up bolts etc. in the rocks along the
shore. Above this island, where the hydro lines run across the river, numerous
Amerindian sites have been found, just below the rapids on an elevated promontory on
both sides of the river. The Kegashka River mouth is an excellent salmon fishing and small
boat refuge, up to Viking size!

LAT/LONG: 12.706N 60° 42.308W
MAP REF: 12 K/2
CULTURE: European objects
DATING: 19,h century
SITE TYPE: unknown
SITE LOCATION: At the southwest corner of the La Romaine beach below the first house
built at this location and just north of the ledge which borders the beach.
DESCRIPTION: A considerable amount of ceramics, glass and other materials were
found in the sand in the intertidal zone. This material seems to be eroding from the bank
which is covered with a thick growth of “midden” vegetation, too tall to allow one to get
an idea of the ground’s surface. But this area is a prime location for a sheltered boat
landing and may have been an early post or other site. The banks and terrace south of the
house here might have some interesting sites.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 20-30 meters
RAW MATERIALS: European ceramics
VEGETATION COVER: midden or eroded material on beach
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): small surface collection of some representative
ceramics and glass

LAT/LONG: 50° I1.4I5N 60° 03.730W
MAP REF: 12 K/l and J/4
CULTURE: unknown
DATING: last few hundred years
SITE TYPE: Rock cache (or house pit?)
SITE LOCATION: First point north of the entry passage between lie du Lac and He du
Quapitagone. On narrows between the islands.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: 4 meter diameter boulder pit with low walls and vegetated
interior. Obviously an old feature. Most likely a seal meat cache, but possibly an
impromptu house pit. This outer island location and lack of other evidence from our
survey here of settlement sites suggests a seal cache is more likely.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: Ten square meters
RAW MATERIALS: NA
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: tundra
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: of limited interest if a meat cache.
REMARKS: Low enough to be of historic age. Not culturally diagnostic, at least as a
surface structure. We surveyed across the eastern end of He du Lac and found nothing but
overripe bake-apples. Our trenching shovel died and wy were not able to do any
subsurface testing; but no surface indications*existed foHsites. The islands seem devoid of
Inuit sites, which should be here if they lived in this region.

SITE NAME: Pointe Sealnet-1
BORDEN #: EcBw-1
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 4-5 meters
LAT/LONG: 50° 20.233N 59° 48.672W
MAP REF: 12 J/ll
CULTURE: Euro-Canadian
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: L-l sealing station; L-2 camp/ lookout?
LOCATION: L-2 camp/lookout? On peninsula 550m south of Pointe Sealnet, in grassy
ground cover between a small pond and a shallow protected cove.
DESCRIPTION: This is an excellent settlement area at a fine harp sealing location. We
were attracted to the area by the name and the possibility of finding Inuit camps since this
would have been an excellent sealing location. There is much 20,h and some 19,h century
material here scattered over a wide area of this beach terrace, and in the landwash. A large
cement house foundation is the latest major and most prominent occupation.
EXTENT: 150x150 meters
VEGETATION: High grass, raspberries etc.; disturbed vegetation with major enrichment.
There are wet deposits here.
PROCEDURE(S): 50x50 cm test pit
SAMPLES: glass, whalebone sled runner (4cm wide), wood
POTENTIAL: excellent for sealing station in European time and maybe earlier
REMARKS: We dug a 50x50 cm test pit about 30 meters west of the SW corner of the
concrete foundation in depression in the tall grass that seemed as if it might be a house
pit. The test pit produced large amounts of wood, sawcMst etc. in the upper 50 cm.,
including a barrel hoop of iron (not collected and left in situ). Toward the bottom about
60-70cm down and just above bedrock, we found a whalebone sled runner fragment, glass
and seal jaw bone. The sled runner was most intriguing considering the question of Inuit
presence or influence on the LNS. This could be an Inuit specimen, but it did not have
the countersunk holes and seems more likely to be a European adoption, (note Charest
article on sealing). A considerable project could be done here on the sealing industry over
a couple hundred years, ending in the 20th century. Inuit and Groswater sites may be
found mixed with the European materials in this area of the site.

CULTURE: Groswater (Dorset)
DATING: 2200 BP (est.)
SITE TYPE: uncertain
LOCATION: Peat blowout exposure above south cove at sealing site, on SW side of the
peninsula.
DESCRIPTION: Lynne Fitzhugh found a small amount of charred blubber in a peat
blowout north of a low rock ledge and south of a spruce thicket, overlooking the southern
cove. We dug four small test excavations into the south side of the exposure against the
ledge, and Matthew Gallon found the base of a Groswater bifacial knife, and Lynne a
chip- both of Port au Port-like chert. I dug a 50x50 test pit in north end of peat exposure
to arms depth without any finds. Where is the site?
EXTENT: 10-20 meters?
RAW MATERIALS: Groswater Port aux Port chert
VEGETATION: deep peat! blackberry
SAMPLES: charcoal, biface and chip
POTENTIAL: excellent but will take some more site prospecting
REMARKS: We could not localize the site in this area, but it may still be in the blowout
or just above the ledge; or in the flat vegetate^ ground^w of the pond to the east. At any
rate there is a very good chance of finding a good GWD site here with some careful
testing.

CULTURE: Maritime Archaic
DATING: ca. 4000 BP?
SITE TYPE: cache pits and various boulders structures
LOCATION: In huge boulder field between the small cove and lake; widely scattered in
the upper flatter areas.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: We surveyed the east shore of Havre de la Croix and found it
full of fishing stages and old fallen cabins. From the hill we could see the large boulder
fields and walked over, finding them to continue to the lake shore. Some small features
were noted in the western side of the upper boulder field, but the largest number of pits,
and perhaps a burial mound (Polaroid photo) with a large flat slab in its top was near the
eastern end of the upper terrace where the outlet to the lake/ or bay existed. The mound
was only 50 cm or so higher than the surrounding field, but was clearly cultural. Other
features included what looked like cache pits. No longhouses were seen here.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: boulder features were seen over several hundreds of meters
RAW MATERIALS: no-boulders only
VEGETATION COVER: none. Most boulders were about the same size (head-sized) and
rounded. Where they all originated from is an interesting question. Steven Young noted
that there were clear signs of peat shrinkage fdrying up Jim the places it had formerly
covered the rocks in the country south of the lake.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: This mound may be a MA burial- or an unopened cache!
REMARKS: Finally we have found some evidence of Maritime Archaic activity (which is
presumed at this site by the find of a longhouse on the neighboring beach to the south at
about the same elevation).

SITE NAME: Petit Mecatina-2
BORDEN #: EdBt-2
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 40-45 ft. a.s.l.
LAT/LONG: 50° 32.579N 59° 19.528W
MAP REF: 12J/I1
CULTURE: (Late?) Maritime Archaic
DATING: 35-4500 B.P.
SITE TYPE: Longhouse, caches, and other features.
LOCATION: L-l On the highest beach ridge of the southern boulder beach cove
immediately east of the head of Havre de la Croix’s inner end; L-2 is to about 100 meters
east of the eastern edge of the boulder beach at the same level above sea level as LI and is
found in a level area, covered with tundra vegetation, overlooking the outer coast beach.
We “scratch-tested” a few locations and found some sandy soil- not just cobbles, so this
should be a good area to prospect for sites in the future.
DESCRIPTION: We had only a few minutes to check this set of raised boulder beaches
at the end of the day and quickly found the longhouse on the upper-most beach. At first
we noticed several large cache pits, and then in the middle of the beach a 5-room
structure 27.5 meters long and about 5 meters wide. The structure was clear due to the
smaller cobbles that marked the floors of the rooms, which seemed to have been created
by clearing out the larger upper beach rocks. The external walls were only slightly higher
than the beach around it. The centers of the rooms had a raised ridge of cobbles running
from front to back through the middle of the room, with a raised center that is likely the
hearth area, in the middle of the room. No tools or debitage were noted, but we had
hardly a minute to search the floors and did got removf any boulders to search for
cultural materials.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: Several hundreds of square meters.
VEGETATION COVER: lichen covered boulders/ cobbles.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: excellent
REMARKS: LI looks like a well-preserved boulder beach longhouse, with associated cache
pits and other outlying structures. L-2 is a promising location to look for other MA
longhouse sites since it has sandy soil. We did not get visual elevations for either this or
Mec.-l beach, but the GPS for Mec.-l was 50 ft. and for Mec.-2, was 46 ft., and these are
roughly consistent with the topo elevations, since the site locations plot out just under 50-
foot contour on the map.

SITE NAME: Petit Mecatina-3
BORDEN #: EdBt-3
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 5-12 meters
LAT/L.ONG: 50° 33.737N 59° 18.120W
MAP REF: 12T/11
CULTURE: Basque
DATING: 16,h century
SITE TYPE: Basque whaling or cod fishing site (since no ovens were noted, perhaps it is a
fishing station)
SITE LOCATION: North side of Anse du Petit Mecatina, on a small promontory or
headland just inside the narrows of the bay. The site extends from the small cove shore at
the western end of the headland to at least the crest of the isthmus and up to the cliff
overhang that runs along the north side of the harbor.
DESCRIPTION: The site area is made prominent by the presence of a huge rock shelter
formed by an overhanging cliff that runs along the north side of the inlet. The best access
to this shelter is from the cove and grass yl bushy ground west of the headland, and from
here up to the overhang, which extends for several hundred meters. We found tiles
eroding from the shore immediately at the cove (Valerie Boudrealt spotted them first
among the red granite beach boulders), and we soon found tiles at the base of the
overhang where we dug test pits 1 and 2. Test pits 3 and 4 also had tile remains directly
under the sod in the first 10-20 cm of soil.
AREAL EXTENT: about one hundred meters, from cliff shelter to southern ridge. We did
not test east over the crest of the beach. *
/ %
RAW MATERIALS: tiles, glass, iron, bone.
VEGETATION COVER: Heavy grass, raspberry, viburnam, fire weed, alder, iris, patches
of spruce, juniper and low birch, cow parsnips. Under the shelter there was not much
growing but juniper (ground juniper).
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): Collected a few tiles from the beach erosion. Materials
found in test pits 1-4 materials were saved: tile charcoal, iron, bone. . .
SAMPLES TAKEN: yes, above. Saved all except some of the small tile spalls- TP-2 was
the only square (70x60 cm) that was excavated. TP 1,3,4 were shovel tests.
POTENTIAL: excellent - an important new Basque site for Gulf LNS
REMARKS: This was an important discovery since few Basque sites have been discovered
in this section of the Quebec North Shore. This is a big site with lots of material and good
preservation, at least in the shelter area, where the Basques may have erected some huts,
judging from the TP 2 tiles, glass, iron nails, bone material etc. The high vegetation
makes it hard to determine the site’s features- such as whether ovens are present. Quite a
lot of rock-fall is scattered around the site making walking in the bushy growth
f
■
.
unpredictable. A large amount of tiles are seen eroding from the cove margin and lots of
tiles are among the tidal landwash. The overhang creates a shelter under the rock all
along the NW shore- a long distance. We did not investigate the entire area due to heavy
rain.

LAT/LONG: 50° 46.6 1 8N 59° 02. 1 22 W
MAP REF: 12 J/4
CULTURE: Intermediate/ Saunders
DATING: EST 3000 BP
SITE TYPE/ SEASONALITY: Chance finds around their house
SITE LOCATION: Michael Morency home- or rather that of his father, now senile- a few
artifacts were found in the ground a few meters north (downhill) from their home, when
digging a septic field.
DESCRIPTION: Grassy area around home. The pieces recovered include a large Ramah
blade with a flat base, two side-notched points one with a broken base (Ramah) and one
made of patinated white chert with a solution pocket in the upper blade; a diagonal knife
with wide squared tang; and a large stemmed end scraper- the later two of Ramah chert.
The Morencys also had a small nipple based point of quartz that was found at one of the
high MA sites across the bay, and a fish spear of a very elaborate sort, found in the land
wash “up the river.”
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: unknown
RAW MATERIALS: Ramah, white patinated chert
NATURE OF SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: grass, birch, alder, moss,
fireweed etc.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: sounds like there is potential for further
excavation- beware of septic field!
REMARKS: Except for the stemmed quartz point, all this material is Intermediate Indian
or its equivalent. It’s interesting that so much material is showing up along this coast and
that Ramah chert plays such an important role in this technology. Saunders/
Intermediate Indian in Labrador is not dearly Ramah chert oriented.

SITE NAME: Baie des Moutons-2
BORDEN #: EeBs-2
HEIGHT A.S.L: 150-125 ft. (GPS and Barometer altim.)
LAT/LONG: 50° 46.497N 59° 01.480W
MAP REF: 12 J/ 14
CULTURE: Maritime Archaic
DATING: 5000 BP
SITE TYPE/SEASONALITY: Coastal Settlement
SITE LOCATION: South of road where it passes town reservoir, in a boggy raised cove
between granite outcrops, about 100 m. SE of the road
DESCRIPTION: Large quantities of quartz debitage was eroding from decomposing peat
and vegetation that once covered much of the glacially-sculpted granite. Deposit occurs
throughout the small basin seen in photo, ending as a small stream draining the lower
area, tumbles sharply downhill in between two outcrops. Some possible structural rocks
in middle of basin “marsh.” This is not a ‘dry’ beach site like those in Labrador. Post¬
occupation vegetation growth has created the marsh/bog.
AREAL EXTENT: approx. 26x 70 m.
RAW MATERIALS: Quartz, red and purple quartzite, one piece of Ramah, slate of a very
degraded or leached sort, small amount of patinated light colored chert. 95% quartz.
NATURE OF SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: boggy soil, marsh grass and
sedge.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): surface collection
SAMPLES TAKEN: of representative lithics.
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: Yes, but very few^rtifacts would be found.
REMARKS: The town boys used to come here and dig to find “arrowheads” when they
were young, said Michael Morency, who took us to the site. Some areas had been
disturbed near the ponded areas, but mostly they turned up the moss and dirt at the
eroding edges of the bare granite. Two areas of broken bedrock seem to be blasting holes
for a planned phone or electric line. We collected no diagnostic tools here- only a few
worked pieces. No scrapers found. Seems like a quartz processing camp more than a
living site, but we saw no nearby quartz outcrops; no bone and no charcoal was noted, but
no test pits were excavated.
Michael Morency and Kevin M. showed us the site

SITE NAME: Baie des Moutons-3
BORDEN#: EeBs-3
HEIGHT A.S.L: 105-167 ft a.s.l.
LAT/LONG: 50° 45.973N 59° 02.277W
MAP REF: 12 J/14
CULTURE: Maritime Archaic
DATING: EST 5-7000 BP
SITE TYPE/ SEASONALITY: habitation?
LOCATION: SW of Mutton Bay up in the hills above the quarry. Various site locales
located on a granite ridge top that descends in elevation to the north.
DESCRIPTION: Five loci of quartz (and other) finds, most of which were located on the
crest of a granite ridge extending south and uphill from near the stream gully.
L-l (50° 45.880N/ 59° 02.191W) at 167 feet (GPS) or 177 feet (altimeter) at the southern
end of the loci string, found by Steven Young. Fairly small locus with a couple of
structure rocks in the ground. Quartz debitage. No collection made.
L-2 (50° 45.973N, 59° 02.277W) at 153 feet (GPS) or 170 (altimeter) Boulder hearth
rings. Lynne Fitzhugh noted locus first. Structure present- i.e. longhouse in addition to
ridge-top rock cluster and cobble hearth ring in middle of blowouts containing quartz,
red quartz, chert, slate.
AREAL EXTENT: Spotty loci occurring over a linear distance of 500 meters
RAW MATERIALS: Quartz, slate, small amounts of light chert, red quartz
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: Decaying moss - retreating ground cover,
drying up of surface peat and vegetation covering bedrock, indicative of climatic
warming.
COLLECTION: surface collection for representative lithic types and tools (very few!)
SAMPLES TAKEN: yes
POTENTIAL: Yes, L-2 especially. Others may have no artifacts.
REMARKS: Are these chronologically sequential occupations or simply different locations
during one settlement period? Why ridge-top locations? L-3 a small area of quartz
debitage at crest of ridge where 4-wheelers have broken up the surface cover. No GPS
data taken. 10 m. diameter. L-4 lowest and northernmost loci, at N 50° 46.060, W 59°
02.271 at 1 10 ft. (altim.) and 105 ft. (GPS) elevation- second GPS reading gave elevation
of 97 ft. No tools except a possible endscraper, pieces esquillee quartz. 5-10 m. dia.
distribution. Peculiar settlement pattern, with L-3 and L-4 having only quartz debitage;
L-2 as the only possible dwelling or structure/feature evidence and the only locus with
tool fragments. Scrapers should mean Early MA. Excavate this one!

MAP REF: 12 0/8
CULTURE: European
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: midden
LOCATION: Havre Mistanoque, eastern side, in grassy area east of the eastern-most
house
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: There are several modern fishing camps around Havre
Mistanoque. We tested the western and eastern sides of the harbor. Western harbor only
with shovel test which produced quantities of shellfish (L- 1 ). Several test pits and shovel
tests in the eastern settlement group east of the houses. WF’s test pit produced aluminum
and salmon scale beneath the thick grass cover in black loam 0-10 cm; thin shards of
green curved glass in 10-20 cm in the upper peat layer; bedrock basement at 25-30 cm
deep. Other test pits produced lots of modern refuse.
AREAL EXTENT: 100 meters along shore
RAW MATERIALS:
SOILS/ VEGETATION COVER: heavy grass cover from modern soil enrichment.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): test pits in eastern area.
SAMPLES TAKEN: Yes, WF test pit
POTENTIAL: This area might produce some interesting material for post-Basque times.
It’s a beautiful protected harbor.
£ -cA
REMARKS: I had expected to find some Basque material at this island harbor- a very
likely Basque site location -- but we found only recent material. The western cove area was
not sampled well as we only could make a brief shovel test at one location, on the grassy
bank south of the house and rear shed.

SITE NAME: Havre Boulet
BORDEN#: EeBr-13
HEIGHT A.S.L: 3-5 m.
LAT/LONG: 50° 46.774N 58° 59.929W
MAP REF: 12 J/15
CULTURE: Basque and later French
DATING: 16th century and later
SITE TYPE: Basque station and later sealing post
LOCATION: on small peninsula on mainland side opposite Petit Mecatina Island, which
is the second island east of Baie des Moutons
DESCRIPTION: There is an old cement foundation on the crest of this small peninsula
jutting to the east, and lots of recent (20th century) fishing and boating gear, including a
winch, broken down buildings etc. This was once a sealing station and trading post that
was started by the uncle of a Boulet, according to one Baie des Moutons resident. The
area, which has a fine landing cove to the north of the point, probably has had a long line
of European/Quebec sealing stations, beginning with a Basque operation. We found tiles
eroding from the bank west of the cement foundation and lots of tiles in the level area
between the ledge outcrop and the old decaying shed at the eastern point of the peninsula.
AREAL EXTENT: several hundreds meters. Grass and enhanced vegetation extends west
of the point along the shore for several hundred meters
RAW MATERIALS: Basque tiles
SOILS and VEGETATION COVER: High (5 ft.) grass, fireweed and other ‘cultural’
influenced vegetation.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): Excavated ajshallow shovel test in level ground west of
the cabin standing on the point. /
SAMPLES TAKEN: three of four examples of Basque tiles.
POTENTIAL: Excellent potential for Basque and later Euro-American/Canadian history.
REMARKS: Lots of Basque tiles. This site like the one at Petit Mecatina site is not obvious,
because there are few tiles in the land-wash, and because of the heavy vegetation and
‘mountains’ of later European occupations. But the area with many tiles on the northern
point seems relatively undisturbed and is a good bet for excavation. I tested the beach
area north of the site ridge and found nothing, but there must be archeological materials
here since this is the most protected location for settlement, keeping boats etc.

MAP REF: 12 0/8
CULTURE: Amerindian; European
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: Boulder caches; and possible burial (European)
SITE LOCATION: On beach crest between central and eastern coves on the south side of
lie Mistanoque: boulder caches on east side of crest and the possible European graves just
over the crest of the beach on west side.
DESCRIPTION: Several boulder caches and possible house pits first noticed by Lynne
Fitzhugh on a beach pass cresting about 35-40 ft. a.s.l. Matt Gallon tested the crescent pit
at upper side of middle beach- negative. Several other circular pits may be caches or
housed in boulders. Lynne noticed two small rectangular cobble settings on the northern
beach area that may be children’s’ burials, outlined in small stones. Not tested!
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: several hundred square meters
RAW MATERIALS: NA
VEGETATION COVER: tundra
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: limited
REMARKS: No cultural signatures that I could identify. The two burial areas were quite
intriguing, with small rectangular enclosure# 2 by 3 feet in size with adjacent cobblestone
lines

SITE NAME: He Checatica
BORDEN #: EhBn-1
HEIGHT A.S.L: 5-15 m. a.s.l.
LAT/LONG: 50° 16.079N 58° 4.800W
MAP REF: 12 0/8
CULTURE: European (and I unit?)
DATING: 17- 18*1’ century
SITE TYPE: Settlement site with sod structures and midden
LOCATION: At narrows with Chekatika and mainland, on NE point of the island in a
grassy vegetated hillslope area. This is an excellent “limit" area because it is an area where
it is not likely that ice would form in winter and is not a European-type protected harbor.
DESCRIPTION: Very grassy, enhanced vegetation. I had only a few minutes to survey
and could only shovel test two locations. Test pit 1 and 2. There are several high-walled
sod structures which are not typical of European sites. Artifacts from TP- included
banded annular ware and brick.
AREAL EXTENT: Several hundred square meters across the eastern side of the grassy
slope
RAW MATERIALS: ceramics
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: grass
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): two shovel tests- both produced 17/1 8th century
materials in sod-walled structures.
SAMPLES TAKEN: Yes, annular ware and brick from TP-1; while undiagnostic ceramic
from TP-2.
POTENTIAL: Very interesting site and one that shouldJbfe looked into closely in the
future.
REMARKS: We had been looking for possible Inuit and Early European sites on the LNS
and this site seems to be post-Basque (no tiles in my brief tests) and is not late 19-20"'
century at least, by which time settlement seems to have shifted to the more protected
anchorage at Mistanoque. This site has no safe boat anchorage and seems to have sod
constructions that might be Inuit. The grass and raspberries were so high I could not
determine exactly the topography of the site. The two tests were inside structures with
pronounced near walls and seemed to have had cobble floors. No tiles or other cultural
materials were prominent in by quick inspection of the landwash.

LAT/LONG: 51° 20.252N 57° 56.200W
MAP REF: 12 P/5
CULTURE: Maritime Archaic??
DATING: late MA if not later
SITE TYPE: boulder beach structures
LOCATION: On the boulder beach on high shores of lie Verte
DESCRIPTION: A large number of boulder features and structures were noted on the
eastern side of lie Verte, overlooking the large fresh water pond at the northeastern end of
the island. Several were 5-6 meters in diameter and seem to have been used as houses,
while others were more likely cache pits and other functions. Several possible longhouses
were also imagined but could not be defined in detail. No tools or lithics were seen, but
lots of gulls were nesting here now. We tested the adjoining beaches with no success.
Also tested the ridge south of the pond at the island crest and the beach ridge to the east
of this pond.
AREAL EXTENT: 150 meters
RAW MATERIALS:
NATURE OF SOILS / VEGETATION COVER: grassy/ mossy in vegetated areas, barren
boulder beach in that area.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: Quite a bit of excavation coul|l be done on the boulder houses.
REMARKS: It’s hard to know what to do with this site other than dig a couple of the
‘house’ pits and see what they contain. Elevation is compatible with middle MA.
It was strange that there were not more signs of prehistoric or historic occupation on this
sandy island. Good resources available, water, game etc. This is the first truly sandy
location we have encountered since Natashquan. We were not able to check the southern
parts of the island.

HEIGHT A.S.L.: 3-4 meters
LAT/LONG: 51° 2 1.5 IN 57° 46.556W
MAP REF: 12 P/5
CULTURE: European settler
DATING: 19/20th century
SITE TYPE: summer fishing camp
SITE LOCATION: East side of lie du Vieux Fort on first peninsula south of Passe
Fequet’s, on south side of cove.
DESCRIPTION: Two settlement areas, one in the foreground above (see field Polaroid
shot) and a second area over the rock ridge in the northernmost cove. Several test pits in
different foundations produced glass shards, ceramics, nails, iron stove parts, pieces of
metal etc. A large rectangular area at the southwest side of the second cove in from the
point was different in being clear of grass and recent enrichment and was larger and had a
rear wall of earth and a front (north) wall of boulders. It produced cut glass and some
large square-cut nails and seemed older that the other settlements.
AREAL EXTENT: About 10x15 ft. The two coves covered several hundred meters.
RAW MATERIALS: glass, ceramics, metal...
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: tall grass, cow parsnips, raspberries. The
‘red-berry’ house is covered with birch and lichen and is bordered to south with cracker
berries.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): We excavated test pits in some of the structures and
disturbed areas. Nothing mapped. . ^ A
SAMPLES TAKEN: Only from ‘red-berry’ house. Cut nails.
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: Not great, but nevertheless interesting sites
concerning the early-mid 20th century fishing economy and some 19lh century.
REMARKS: We also tested the raised beach south of IVF-1 and found no signs of cultural
activity. One structure had a perfect cast of an old iron stove in the sod overlying it and
the stove beneath.

SITE NAME: He du Vieux Fort-2 (‘longhouse’)
BORDEN#: EiBk-51
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 4-5 meters but not measured
LAT/LONG: 5 1 ° 2 1 .2 1 1 N 57° 46.528W
MAP REF: 12 P/5
CULTURE: L-l small rectangular structure; L-2 ‘Longhouse’ site
DATING: L-l 20,h century; L-2 ?
SITE TYPE: sod foundations
LOCATION: L-2 is about halfway between the graveyard and the point of land at
entrance to the cove.
DESCRIPTION: Steven Young pointed this site (L2) out to me based on its similarity to
Viking longhouses. The structure is composed of a series of rooms separated by raised
wall dividers that rise 20-30 cm. higher than the floors and a well defined south and east
sidewall. The interior of the structure was defined well by grass, but not much compared
to other recent occupations. The structure is built into the existing beach ridges with SE
wall being essentially the ridge itself.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 100 square meters
RAW MATERIALS: Nothing found in two 50cm test pits, one in the 2nd compartment
from south wall, and the other on the ridge between the 2nd and 1st compartment.
SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: sandy beach soil with grass, blackberry
empetram.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): 2 test pits
SAMPLES TAKEN: one soil sample taken from the buried soil horizon (compressed peat)
in TP-2. *
POTENTIAL: Test neg. so far, but merits further work because of the Norse type
structure outline and the excellent grazing area.
REMARKS: The grassy meadows at this Pt. Capston/ Bessie’s Beach area and other places
on south and eastern lie du Vieux Fort are also unique features of this area that would
have made it attractive to a small group of Norsemen. The east side of lie du Vieux Fort is
protected by skerries that make its shores fairly quiet even although they open to the sea
to the SW. However, the site so far does not appear to be Norse and the reason for its
peculiar structure is unexplained. Our tests did not give a positive identification for
charcoal or a cultural floor- rather a buried soil/ humus profile as though the ‘structure’
was created naturally, as a series of rectangular blowouts and the walls function of the
beach ridges. Still, it should be tested further.

SITE NAME: He du Vieux Fort-3 (Bussie’s Cove)
BORDEN #: EiBk-52
HEIGHT A.S.L: 3-4 meters a.s.l.
LAT/LONG: 51° 21.267N 57° 46.493W
MAP REF: 12 P/5
CULTURE: European?
DATING: 19/20,h century
SITE TYPE: sand/sod foundation
SITE LOCATION: ca 50 meters south of Fequet graveyard on upper terrace of Bussie’s
Beach (“Welcome to Bussie’s Beach” was painted on a rock at the NW corner of beach.)
DESCRIPTION: Steven Young noticed this low sod/sand wall structure, with 3 of its 4
sides showing and missing its narrow north wall facing the graveyard. We dug three test
pits, two inside the structure and one ‘outside’ the “missing” northern wall area. Sterile
sand was found right under the sod/moss. The only find was a piece of shoe leather (or
roof tar paper?) Dimensions of the wall here 3. 5x4. 5 inside dimension. Walls were 50 cm
wide and about 10 cms high.
AREAL EXTENT: 4 by 5 meters
RAW MATERIALS:
SOILS/VEGETATION COVER: sandy beach deposits
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): 3 test pits 40x40 cm.
SAMPLES TAKEN: yes, TP 3: leather?
POTENTIAL: Not much
REMARKS: This was a disappointment because although the structure was quite distinct,
we did not find interesting deposits. But surely there rndst be more here, of European
and recent date probably. The empetrum cover and lack of grass suggests a fairly old age
for the walls.

SITE NAME: lie Net Tickle (Vieux Fort)
BORDEN#: EiBl-7
HEIGHT A.S.L: 2-3 meters est.
LAT/LONG: 51° 22.189N 57° 53.451W
MAP REF: 12 P/5
CULTURE: Prehistoric Indian; European
DATING: 1 6th century?; 1 8th (?)-20'h century
SITE TYPE: settlement, seal netting
LOCATION: On low, narrow neck at southern entrance to Steven’s Cove, across from lie
Net.
DESCRIPTION: Several loci of finds were identified, but the site may have finds
throughout the length of the beach. L-l is at the west end and had European materials,
(cut nail and glass) associated with a rectangular boulder foundation measuring 4. 7x3. 5
meters, situated up against the hillside; a lower component was prehistoric, with flakes of
tan quartzite, SW Nfld. chert, and tan chert. No tools. C14 sample.
L-2 (no apparent structure) had European ceramics, iron nails
L-3 nails. Some nails and ceramics - seems like 18th century.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 100 meters long
RAW MATERIALS: iron, glass, ceramics, tan quartzite, SW Nfld. chert, tan chert.
VEGETATION COVER: grass, low shrubs etc.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): 3 test pits and a collection from the beach.
SAMPLES TAKEN: L-l artifacts/ flakes, C14 sample for native component. L-2 tan
ceramic, brown glazed earthen ware, nails; L-3 iron nails
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: yes- bpt not a lafge or spectacular site
REMARKS: It was surprising to find European materials and a small native component in
such a low and small site, only a few meters above sea level. The native component seems
likely to be a late prehistoric Indian one related to Little Passage or Pt. Revenge, but
mostly with local lithics being used. The distribution of lithics seemed stronger toward
the SW side of the 1x1 meter test square.

SITE NAME: Havre des Belles Amours
BORDEN#: EiBi-14
HEIGHT A.S.L: 21 feet a.s.l.
LAT/LONG: 51° 27.434N 57° 27.409W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: unknown. Possibly Amerindian
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: hearth
LOCATION: This may be EiBi-14 from earlier surveys! The site lies at the souteast end of
a clearing on the broad, open second terrace above the shore, just beneath a prominent
hill to the south and only a meter north of a beaten foot and vehicle track, before the track
enters the forest scrub. General location is the southern end of Havre des Belles Amours, a
hundred meters west of the creek which drains the south area of the shore.
DESCRIPTION: It was not a good sign when we excavated this hearth protruding from
the surface and found a piece of orange flagging tape buried at the base of the feature.
Location of the previously-recorded Quebec record EiBi-14 looks close to our find. A
rock showing through the surface vegetation signaled this site. We excavated a lxl m.
square and found a tight hearth feature with stratigraphic disturbance that only made
sense when we found the buried orange flagging.
AREAL EXTENT: lxl m.
RAW MATERIALS: beach cobble hearth rocks
SOILS/ VEGETATION COVER: sandy soils and tundra surface vegetation
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): we excavated this feature to see who lived here and to
obtain a dating sample. We collected a small charcoal sample from beneath rocks in situ.
What culture it dates is a good question! Thefe was no' dtiert or other lithic material
present, nor any other artifacts except the flagging tape.
SAMPLES TAKEN: charcoal
POTENTIAL: none
REMARKS: I think this site must have been located in a previous survey. We found one
miniscule quartz flake in the excavation. No other material except charcoal. The terrace
on which this feature was found has a number of blowouts but nothing was found in any
of them.

SITE NAME: Pointe des Belle Amour
BORDEN #: EiBi-19
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 42 ft. (GPS and Altim.)
LAT/LONG: 51° 27.169N 57° 26.490W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: unknown (TBP)
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE: boulder beach structure
LOCATION: on a line from the eastern peak of the highest terrace of the peninsula and
the southern end of the lagoon to east.
DESCRIPTION: Two dwelling structures. The northern one measures 4x4 meters with
its N-S axis being slightly longer than the E-W dimension. The northern floor is vegetated
with moss and southern half clear, showing small cobbles for flooring, in contrast with the
large rocks in the beach. Two small cache pits were noticed, one to NW and one to SE of
structure, about 1 meter from the walk. A second structure foundation exists to south,
immediately adjacent, measuring 5x4 m., also rectangular, with its longer axis
perpendicular to the shore. Nothing seen on the surface. Nothing excavated. It was dusk
and only the video still could record this site.
EXTENT: 15 by 20 m.
VEGETATION: bare cobble beach
PROCEDURE(S): nothing dug
SAMPLES: nothing taken
POTENTIAL: yes, this would be an interesting site to excavate
REMARKS: According to the uplift curve presented by^Jean-Yves Pintal (1998) for the
Blanc Sablon region, sea level would have been at the 13m elevation about 6-7000 years
ago, placing this site in the Middle/Early Maritime Archaic period. This is the only site
found in our survey of the eastern portion of the Belles Amours Harbor peninsula that is
unequivocally a dwelling structure, as opposed to the several cache pits that we noticed.
At this site there are cache pits associated with a structure that looks like a dwelling. S-2 is
probably contemporary with S- 1 .

HEIGHT A.S.L.: 11 feet
LAT/LONG: 51° 28.14N 57° 26.882W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: European
DATING: 19th century
SITE TYPE: European settlement, probably of the Buckle family.
LOCATION: On west side of the sandy point at north end of Belles Amours Peninsula
about 50 ft. from the shore.
DESCRIPTION: We had only a few minutes ashore before leaving for Blanc Sablon.
Lynne Fitzhugh checked the graveyard on the terrace at the south end of the northern sea
level terrace. Buckles were buried there in the 19,h century. Two large rectangular
foundations of sod/turf are present, and possibly others. Also a deep trench south of S-2.
AREAL EXTENT: several hundred meters
RAW MATERIALS: glass, ceramic, iron.
VEGETATION: thin moss/grass. Cultural material in the upper (thin) gray sand.
PROCEDURE(S): sample from S-l, S-2 test pits
SAMPLES: From S-l: Square glass bottle, green glass, bone, nail; From S-2, iron nail,
bone.
POTENTIAL: The Buckles were an important early Labrador family from Middle Bay.
REMARKS: This site might have lots of interesting material from the 19-20'h century. The
inner house deposits are very thin, with 2-3 cjn of turf {grass etc.) 2-3 cms of dark humic
soil and then sterile sand.

SITE NAME: Belles Amours Peninsula
BORDEN #: EiBi-7
HEIGHT A.S.L: 32 ft.
LAT/LONG: 51° 28.396N 57°24.912W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: Intermediate Indian?
DATING: unknown
SITE TYPE / SEASONALITY: Boulder structures in cobble beach
SITE LOCATION: On exposed cobble beach at NE side of Belles Amours Peninsula, in
northern part of the beach exposure at the crest of ridge, east of the pond.
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: See Rene Levesque’s preliminary report (1968) that has a
section on these structures (“Rapport Preliminaire 1968” published by La Societe d’
Archeologie de la Cote Nord). He has a map of the structures drawn by Pierre McKenzie.
AREAL EXTENT: 200 meters along the crest of the ridge
NATURE OF SOILS/ SEDIMENTS/ VEGETATION COVER: exposed cobbles
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): nothing collected
SAMPLES TAKEN: no
POTENTIAL: Excellent. Some of these structures are very well preserved and could be
excavated. They are among some of the most distinctive cobble beach structures I have
seen.
REMARKS: Rene Levesque or Pierre McKenzie seem to have dug into the houses in a few
places, and these locations can be seen by the black lichen cover and absence of the long-
growing green lichen on the rocks. These are some of the most interesting house forms
for post-MA cultures in this area. Some have internal features and well-defined floors.
Cache pits associated with floored structures suggest that the latter or clearly houses.
Some are rectangular, multi-roomed. We could not map the area in detail and only
photographed a few of the structures.

SITE NAME: Clifford Hart Chalet
BORDEN #: EiBh-47
HEIGHT A.S.L.: 26-42 ft.
LAT/LONG: 51° 29.924N 57° 15.747W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: European (26-35' -Basque/Post-Basque?); Amerindian (35-42')
DATING: various, see below
SITE TYPE: whaling site; settlement and possible cache location
LOCATION: Mainland north of lie de Paresseux, immediately behind Clifford and
Florence Hart’s “chalet” or country place. Probably the same site as EiBh-47.
DESCRIPTION: We did not do sub-surface tests at the lower elevations below the Hart
house where Levesque had found whalebones, bricks and other materials. However, at
about 26 ft. near the back of the Hart house we found tiny fragments of tile-like ceramic.
Further up-hill, toward the back of the ‘lawn’ and in the forest behind the clearing the
ground is ‘lumpy’, perhaps concealing ovens or other structures. Somewhere in the
vicinity of the house Levesque uncovered a whalebone chute in 1968. The area has no
open exposures now. We did not have a shovel with us when we toured these sites with
Cliff Hart. Beyond the forest patch north of the yard is a bull-dozed clearing through
which the access road passes. A large area about 100x100 meters had been dozed clear of
trees down to the upper peat, and here between the Hart ‘driveway’ and the west-bound
dirt road we found evidence of Groswater flakes and artifacts around the small 5x5 meter
garden planted by Florence Hart, buff quartzit^ flakes in the Hart driveway at a bit higher
elevation, evidence of Saunders-like Intermediate debitage in multi-colored chert along
the gully in the western area of the clearing, and MA materials along the length of the
road. At the east end of this upper area, just below the outcropping hill, was where Hart
had found a cache of several weathered slate celts and gouges. Ramah chert and slate
flakes were seen frequently and we found a contracting stem Ramah point of Rattlers
Bight at the western edge of the hill outcrop. A lot of different cultures present in a very
small area. Why concentrated here? is the big question.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: Several hundred square meters in between his house and the
bulldozed area behind it.
RAW MATERIALS: I saw but did not collect fragments of tile or brick.
NATURE OF SOILS/ VEGETATION COVER: Heavy spruce forest and lots of black flies,
even at end of August.
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): surface collections only. No sub-surface testing done.
SAMPLES TAKEN: none taken from the ‘European’ area; but a few pieces and flakes were
taken from the upper prehistoric settlement area.
POTENTIAL FOR FURTHER WORK: This could be a very important early European
settlement site - whether it is Basque or later - and it should be tested fully in the near
future. Clifford Hart and his wife seem very eager to support scientific work here.
REMARKS: There is something important about this location that has attracted lots of
prehistoric and early historic settlement - certainly the protected coves, entrance of a large
river, and off-shore islands made it is a great harbor area with protection for small boats.

LAT/LONG: 51° 28.348N 57° 13.903V/
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: Maritime Archaic
DATING: 7500 B.P.?
SITE TYPE: Burial Mounds
SITE LOCATION: On sand and gravel ridge between Brador town and a set of lakes to
the east.
DESCRIPTION: Burial mounds excavated by Rene Levesque In 1960s (or early 1970s?).
Access by road from Rt 138 and only a short distance from the highway. The western
mound is partly back-filled, the eastern, at the end of the beach eminence seems not to
have been backfilled and is a very large pit. According to Clifford Hart, who viewed these
excavations when they were completed, Rene Levesque had them done up “very nicely,
with everything showing neatly.”
AREAL EXTENT: Each mound is about 10x10 meters based on the pit size. Original rock
features were somewhat smaller.
VEGETATION COVER: sand and slab surface, barren of vegetation
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): none
SAMPLES TAKEN: none
POTENTIAL: Clean-up and site reconstruction needed a
REMARKS: 1 saw the drawings and photos, and the artifacts when RL loaned them to Jim
Wright at the CMC in the mid-1970s. The gouges and celts, and nipple-based triangular
points from one of the mounds were very surprising, as was the internal chamber-like slab
rock structure. RL also gave me a set of color slides and a copy of his draft thesis. I dated
some charcoal from one of the mounds and got a 3000 B P date- seemingly much too
late. I wonder if there are not some dwelling structures associated with these mounds but
I did not have time to survey for them.

SITE NAME: Courtemanche Site
BORDEN #: EiBh-34
HEIGHT A.S.L.: not measured but not far above sea level
LAT/LONG: 51° 2728N, 57° 1444W
MAP REF: 12 P/6
CULTURE: European/ French
DATING: 1703-1709
SITE TYPE: stone-walled house foundation and sod-walled out-buildings
SITE LOCATION: In the back (sea-side) of (I never got the owner’s name) residence,
whose house ends at west side only a few meters from the east wall of the Courtemanche
stone foundation. The ground around here, in high grass, is full of foundations of other
associated buildings, and extends for 200 meters. This is a major site!
DESCRIPTION OF SITE: Cement-mortared foundations and sod foundation structures.
Levesque excavated the interior of the stone house. Nothing else seems to have been
touched. The land-owner is very wary of the presence of this site on their property and is
somewhat reluctant to have visitors, fearing their property and privacy might be forfeit.
We called and received permission to come by and I took some photos, but it is hard to
see much since the area is heavily-covered with grass and weeds.
AREAL EXTENT OF SITE: 100 meters
VEGETATION COVER: grass and weeds
COLLECTION PROCEDURE(S): nothing collected, noihdng tested
SAMPLES TAKEN: no
POTENTIAL: There is much work to do here
REMARKS: This site would be one of the major historic attractions of the Blanc Sablon
region if it were excavated and interpreted. The Courtemanche cart track is clearly seen in
the ground east of the 138 road, cutting into the ground as it rises over the rocky ledge a
few hundred meters south of the stone house site. Seen as a U-shaped, 2-meter wide
trough in the ground, it can be traced eastward rising up the hill for some distance.

depuis 1983 un recueil intitule « Recherches
Archeologiques au Quebec » qui regroupe des resumes
d’activites archeologiques. II a ete decide de transformer
cette publication de format papier a un format
electronique, qui sera accessible a partir du site Internet
de I’AAQ.
L’actuel Reglement sur la recherche archeologique ne fait
pas mention de la remisp d’un resume avec le rapport
annuel. L’AAQ suggere que ces resumes fassent
obligatoirement partie des rapports qui suivent les
interventions archeologiques. [.’inclusion d’un resume a
votre rapport archeologique simplifierait grandement la
collecte de ceux-ci et serait grandement apprecie.
Idealement, les resumes ne devraient pas depasser une
page de texte et pourraient etre accompagnes d’une carte
de localisation du site ou du lieu de (’intervention
archeologique et, si possible, d’une illustration.
Nous vous remercions de votre collaboration et vous
prions d’agreer I’expression de nos sentiments les
meilleurs.
